Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary function of this brake caliper bolt?

This bolt is used to securely fasten the brake caliper to the caliper bracket or mounting hub on the rear axle of compatible vehicles, ensuring proper brake operation.

What does 'Quality Grade 10.9' mean?

Grade 10.9 indicates a high-strength steel alloy, signifying superior tensile strength and durability compared to lower-grade bolts, making it suitable for critical automotive applications like braking systems.

Can I use these bolts on the front axle?

No, the febi bilstein 48817 is specifically designed and designated for rear axle applications. Front axle caliper bolts often have different specifications.

What tool is needed to install this bolt?

The bolt head features a female star (likely Torx) design, requiring a corresponding female star (Torx) bit for installation and removal.

How many bolts are included in a package?

Each package contains four (4) brake caliper bolts.

What OEM part numbers does this bolt correspond to?

This bolt is a direct replacement for OEM numbers N 910 068 02 and N 911 689 01.

What is the thread size?

The external thread size is M12 x 1.5.

Troubleshooting

Bolt does not thread smoothly.

Ensure the threads on both the bolt and the receiving hole are clean and free of debris. Verify you are using the correct bolt for the application and that the hole is not cross-threaded or damaged.

Female star head is difficult to engage or strips.

Use a high-quality female star (Torx) bit that fits snugly into the bolt head. Apply firm, steady pressure while turning. Ensure the correct bit size is used.

Bolt appears too short or too long.

Double-check that this is the correct part number (48817) for your vehicle's rear axle application. Confirm compatibility using OEM numbers. Using an incorrect length bolt can compromise brake system safety.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with grade 10.9 material for longevity.
  • Precise M12 x 1.5 thread for secure fitment.
  • Female star head design aids in proper torque application and prevents stripping.
  • Suitable for rear axle applications in a range of VAG group vehicles.
  • Comes in a convenient pack of four, ideal for one caliper replacement.

Cons

  • Requires verification of compatibility using OEM numbers.
  • Specific tool may be needed for the female star head (e.g., Torx bit).
  • Not suitable for front axle applications.
  • Weight of 0.07kg per bolt, while standard, contributes to overall unsprung mass.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the vehicle is safely supported on jack stands with the parking brake disengaged and wheels removed.
  2. Clean the threads of the caliper bracket and the bolt hole on the caliper carrier.
  3. Apply a small amount of appropriate thread locker (if recommended by vehicle manufacturer) to the bolt.
  4. Insert the febi bilstein 48817 Brake Caliper Bolt and tighten to the manufacturer's specified torque using the correct female star (Torx) bit.

Compatibility:

This bolt is designed for the rear axle of various Audi, Seat, Skoda, and VW models. Always verify compatibility by matching the OEM numbers N 910 068 02 or N 911 689 01 with your vehicle's original part specifications or consult a parts catalog.

Care:

As a high-strength steel component, minimal care is required. However, before installation, inspect the bolts for any damage, corrosion, or thread defects. After installation, periodically check the torque if performing brake system maintenance. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or corrosive substances where possible.
