Land Rover Part Number: SMC500270 - Right-Hand Rear Brake Caliper
SMC500270 is a right-hand rear brake caliper. Fitted to the right-hand rear wheel assembly, it houses the brake piston which applies clamping force to the brake pads against the brake disc to generate braking torque. This caliper is produced for the rear braking assemblies used across Defender models and is compatible with both four-wheel anti-lock braking system (ABS) and non-ABS rear brake configurations as fitted to the relevant Defender model years. Regular inspection of piston movement, guide pins and for fluid leaks should form part of standard brake maintenance; worn or seized calipers will cause uneven pad wear and reduced braking performance. Replacement calipers are supplied matched to the rear brake geometry for the Defender 110 and 130 wheelbase configurations where specified.

Frequently Asked Questions
The SMC500270 caliper converts hydraulic pressure from the brake circuit into mechanical clamping force at the right-hand rear wheel, pressing the inner and outer pads onto the disc to slow or stop wheel rotation. It is produced for Defender rear brake assemblies and suits both ABS and non-ABS rear configurations. Inspect piston movement, guide pins and seals regularly as leaks or seized pistons commonly lead to uneven pad wear and reduced braking performance.
