Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically gives you all the soft parts you need to rebuild your brake caliper. Inside you’ll find new piston seals, dust boots, and sometimes even new slide pins and clips. It’s everything that isn't the metal caliper body itself. It’s designed to stop leaks and keep things moving smoothly inside that caliper. The brake caliper is obviously super important, it’s what squeezes the brake pads against the rotor to actually stop the car. This kit keeps the caliper working within that system. The seals prevent brake fluid from leaking out – brake fluid is what provides the pressure to clamp down on those rotors. The dust boots keep dirt and moisture out, protecting the piston and slide pins. Think of the boots like a shield, keeping the crucial parts safe from the elements. The slide pins allow the caliper to move freely so the pads apply evenly.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

A leaking caliper obviously means you lose braking power, and that's a big deal. Even a small leak can create a mess and eventually lead to bigger problems. If the slide pins are sticking, that can cause uneven brake wear, pulling to one side when you brake, or even premature rotor damage. If you notice if your brakes are feeling spongy, or if you see fluid around a wheel, that's a good sign you might need to address the caliper and this kit would be a great place to start. You can find this Repair Kit 340, and a lot of other parts, over at Fixparts Online, if you’re looking. But really, keeping your brakes in good shape is just good preventative maintenance, and this kit is a key part of that.
