CADILLAC CATERA

BRAKE REPAIR

The Cadillac Catera, a luxury sedan, featured four-wheel disc brakes, including an antilock system, for stopping power. The front brakes employed a single-piston caliper design, while the rear brakes used dual-opposing pistons in a two-piece cast-iron housing. The parking brake was integrated within the rear disc brake rotor, using brake shoes against a drum.
