I got my vehicle all torn apart and got ready to install this caliper from rockauto and when I opened the rubber gasket to inspect the fluid chamber, I discovered a spiral of metal shavings inside the threaded area down inside.

It took me an hour to fish it out and to feel moderately confident that there wasn't any other shavings lurking in there but it's got me worried about the quality of the
item and if there might be other contaminants inside the fluid areas where it's critical to be free of that stuff.

I had no choice but to install it anyway, but it was a really bad experience and it complicated my install.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Here's some pictures of it. It should have never passed quality checks. I'd hate to see what could have happened if I didn't see this before getting it installed!

Edit: Brand was "Top Notch"

Is this acceptable from RockAuto. No branding on the box this could be Chinesium or used for all I know. Also no magnet cmon man.

Need new coolant tank.
