I just changed the caliber on my wife's hyundai santa fe with 150,000 miles. The new calibers bracket scrapped against the disk. I decided to use the original bracket and the new caliber. The caliber seems to be identical. There is a gap between the caliber and disk. I spun the disk by hand and heard no noise. I test drove it and didn't hear any scrapping. Will this be ok or could the caliber be to small and I don't know.
Are you referring to the brake calliper?
The bracket that holds the caliber. The holes Match up with the new caliber and old bracket. It was just the new bracket didn't fit on
I know the new bracket is small. I was asking the caliber may to small since they came together.. it seemed like the inside of the caliber might be to close and was asking what is to close
The brake caliper for a 4 cylinder equipped Sonata is different from the one for the 6 cylinder, so, yes, you could easily have received the wrong caliper.
The best way to know is to do a comparison of the old caliper next to the new one. They are extremely similar, so it may not be obvious unless you look very carefully.
If you replaced the rotor, it could be the wrong rotor. There are 283mm and 300mm diameter front rotors, for 2010, for example. (No idea what year or engine you have.)
Best way to check is to place the old rotor on top of the new rotor (back to back). The difference will be apparent.
what's a caliber?
Well clearly from the context of the written question, they mean brake caliper. Not that hard to figure out if you know about brakes.
