Overview
The Crown Automotive 5191825AA is a driver side rear brake caliper for the 2003–2006 Jeep Wrangler (TJ) and 2004–2006 Wrangler (LJ).
This is the left-hand rear caliper, listed at the rear left position and supplied without pads. A rear caliper that sticks or leaks fluid is a typical reason to replace it, and the matching passenger side caliper is a different part number.
Crown Automotive describes itself as a producer of Jeep replacement parts, including many items the factory has discontinued. The 5191825AA is marked as a direct fit on the TJ and LJ.
Rear calipers on the TJ and LJ are handed, and the 5191825AA is the left-hand one at the rear. When a rear caliper seizes, the usual signs are a burning smell after driving, a wheel that runs hotter than the others and pads worn unevenly side to side. Because pads are not included, inspect them and the rotor while the wheel is off, and consider renewing the opposite side so the rear brakes stay balanced.

- Rear left position
- Supplied without pads
- Marked as a direct fit
- Covers Wrangler TJ and LJ
Rear brake balance
Rear brakes on a TJ or LJ do a smaller share of the stopping than the fronts, but a sticking rear caliper still causes heat, pad wear and pulling. A caliper that does not release fully keeps the pad pressed on the rotor, so the wheel runs hot and the brake fluid can boil over time. Watching for these symptoms after a drive is a good habit on any Jeep used off-road.
If one rear caliper is replaced, look at the other side too. A new caliper working alongside a worn one will not give balanced braking, and the pads on the old side may wear faster to match. Fresh brake fluid and clean slide pins make a practical difference, and the parking brake should be checked after the work is done.
- Check slide pins for free movement
- Inspect the brake hose for swelling
- Test the parking brake after reassembly
