Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically rebuilds your brake caliper. Inside the caliper, you’ve got pistons that push the brake pads against the rotor to stop the car. This kit includes new seals, boots, and sometimes new pistons. These parts keep everything moving smoothly and prevent brake fluid from leaking out. It’s a collection of smaller parts that all work together to keep that core function happening right. Think of the caliper as the clamp that squeezes the rotor. This repair kit addresses everything within that clamp, ensuring consistent pressure and preventing issues caused by worn or damaged internal parts. It doesn't replace the whole caliper itself – it brings a worn caliper back to good working order. It’s a really cost – effective way to address brake problems if the caliper body isn't damaged.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if these parts inside start to fail, you can lose braking power. Seals dry out and crack, letting brake fluid leak. Boots tear, letting dirt and moisture get in and damage everything. It's a safety thing, obviously. You’ll notice if something's going wrong – maybe a spongy brake pedal, pulling to one side when you brake, or even a brake light staying on. Addressing it with a kit like this prevents bigger, more expensive problems down the road, and keeps you safe.
