ESEN SKV 23SKV013 Brake Caliper – Rear Axle Left

Uneven braking, a pulling sensation, or fluid visible near a wheel are common signs of caliper failure. The ESEN SKV 23SKV013 brake caliper is engineered for the rear axle, left side, restoring proper clamping force and pedal feel.

Key Benefits

The ESEN SKV 23SKV013 brake caliper is built to bring OE-level braking performance back to your vehicle. Here’s what you get:

• Consistent piston and seal performance, designed to provide even clamping force across the pad surface.
• OE-matching mounting points and bore dimensions, engineered to bolt on without modification.
• Corrosion-resistant housing, built to withstand road salt, moisture, and brake heat cycling.
• Compatible caliper type matching the design listed in the specifications table below (see Brake Caliper Type).
• Axle- and side-specific engineering, sized and shaped for rear axle, left side applications rather than a universal fit.

Product Specifications

Every ESEN SKV 23SKV013 brake caliper is manufactured to defined dimensional and performance tolerances. Full technical details are listed below; always verify fitment against your vehicle’s VIN before ordering.

Use Cases and Applications

Drivers typically order this brake caliper for scenarios such as:

• Replacing a caliper that’s leaking brake fluid or showing a seized or sticking piston during inspection.
• Addressing uneven brake pad wear traced back to a caliper that isn’t releasing or clamping evenly.
• Restoring braking performance after a caliper is diagnosed as the cause of a pulling or dragging sensation.
• Replacing a caliper alongside a pad and rotor service for a complete axle-side brake job.

Because brake calipers are matched to specific axle positions and vehicle sides, always confirm fitment before ordering rather than relying on visual similarity alone. If you’re not sure whether the ESEN SKV 23SKV013 matches your specific vehicle side or caliper type, our support team can help you verify fitment using your VIN or your vehicle’s original caliper part number before you check out.

Manufacturing Quality

ESEN SKV is a German-founded aftermarket parts brand supplying braking, steering, and suspension components engineered to OE-matching specifications. This 23SKV013 brake caliper is manufactured to a standard aftermarket specification intended to match the fit and function of the original equipment part. Housings, pistons, and seals are manufactured and quality-checked to dimensional tolerances intended to match the original equipment parts they replace. Because brakes are a critical safety system, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends following your owner’s manual service intervals and having brake components inspected regularly.

We list the EAN, weight, caliper type, and compatible brake system information provided by ESEN SKV directly in the specifications table above so you can cross-check this 23SKV013 brake caliper against your vehicle’s original part before ordering. Confirming axle side and caliper type ahead of time helps avoid a return or exchange after the hydraulic system has already been opened.

Shipping and Delivery

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the ESEN SKV 23SKV013 cost $38.44?

Pricing reflects the ESEN SKV brand’s manufacturing quality, materials, and Standard positioning relative to other calipers in our catalog, while remaining competitive with comparable OE and aftermarket options.

How long does shipping take?

Orders ship nationwide to all 50 U.S. states. Standard delivery typically takes 3–7 business days depending on your location; expedited options are available at checkout. Full details are on our shipping policy page.

Should I replace calipers in pairs (both sides of the axle)?

Many technicians recommend replacing calipers on both sides of the same axle together, especially if both have similar age and mileage, to maintain even braking force and prevent a repeat failure on the other side shortly after.

Does this brake caliper come with a warranty?

Yes, this part is covered by the manufacturer’s standard warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Warranty terms are outlined on our warranty policy page.

Do I need to bleed the brakes after installing a new caliper?

Yes. Any time a brake line or caliper is opened, air enters the hydraulic system and the brakes must be bled to restore a firm pedal and proper hydraulic pressure. This is a standard part of caliper replacement.

Do I need new brake pads when I replace a caliper?

It’s strongly recommended. If the old caliper caused uneven wear, contamination from leaking fluid, or dragging, the existing pads may already be damaged or worn unevenly. Installing new pads alongside a new caliper helps ensure even clamping and braking performance from the start.

What is your return policy on this part?

Unused parts in original packaging can be returned within our standard return window. Review the complete terms on our warranty policy page or reach out via our contact page.

Can I install this brake caliper myself?

Caliper replacement requires opening the brake hydraulic system and bleeding the brakes afterward, which calls for more experience and tools than a pad-only replacement. Mechanically confident DIYers with a brake bleeding kit can often complete this job, but if you’re not fully comfortable, we recommend having it installed by a certified technician since braking is a critical safety system.

Do you ship to my state?

Yes, we ship to all 50 U.S. states with tracked, insured shipping on every order.

How do I know if my brake caliper needs replacing?

Common signs include visible brake fluid leaking near a wheel, a car pulling to one side under braking, a grinding or scraping noise, uneven pad wear between the inner and outer pad, or a caliper that feels seized when the wheel is spun by hand.

Does this caliper include the mounting bracket?

Check the specifications table above and the product images. Some calipers are sold as the caliper body only, while others are a loaded assembly. Contact us through the contact page if you need this confirmed before ordering.

What vehicles is this brake caliper compatible with?

This ESEN SKV 23SKV013 brake caliper is manufactured to fit the rear axle, left side of its specified applications. Always cross-reference your vehicle’s VIN or OE part number against our fitment guide, or contact our support team through the contact page before ordering to confirm compatibility.

Is this a direct OE replacement?

Yes. The ESEN SKV 23SKV013 is engineered to match the mounting points, bore dimensions, and performance characteristics of the original equipment brake caliper, so no additional modification is required for installation.

Is this caliper compatible with a caliper that has an integrated parking brake?

Check the Brake Caliper Type row in the specifications table above. If your vehicle uses an electronic or cable-actuated parking brake integrated into the caliper, you’ll need a caliper specifically designed for that setup rather than a standard unit.
