Acura Cl Disc Brake Caliper in US

The disc brake caliper on the Acura Cl is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your Cl disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Acura Cl, brake fluid pressure forces the caliper pistons outward, squeezing the brake pads against the rotor and generating the friction that stops your vehicle. A seized, leaking, or sticking caliper on the Cl interferes with that process at the source, causing uneven braking, accelerated pad and rotor wear, and pulling to one side that worsens over time.

Signs of a Failing Disc Brake Caliper on the Acura Cl

• Acura Cl pulls strongly to one side during braking, a seized caliper on one side applies more force
• Brake pedal on your Cl feels soft or spongy and improves after pumping, caliper piston seal leaking
• One brake pad on your Acura Cl axle wears significantly faster than its partner
• Brake drag on the Acura Cl, vehicle feels like it is fighting resistance at normal road speed
• Visible brake fluid leaking from the Cl caliper body or around the piston boot
• Grinding or scraping from one Acura Cl wheel that persists after confirming pads are not worn

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Acura Cl

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Acura Cl

New OEM-specification calipers for the Acura Cl are brand-new units manufactured to the exact piston dimensions, seal specifications, and material tolerances of the original Cl factory part. They offer the longest service life on your Acura Cl and are the strongest choice for higher-mileage Cl vehicles or those operated in high-corrosion environments.

Remanufactured Calipers for the Acura Cl

Remanufactured calipers for the Acura Cl are original caliper housings completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and rebuilt with new pistons, seals, boots, and hardware. Quality remanufactured units perform identically to new calipers for most Acura Cl replacement applications and offer excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions - Acura Cl Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Acura Cl in pairs?

It is generally recommended to replace calipers as an axle pair on the Acura Cl, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain balanced braking. If one Cl caliper has failed, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same service conditions and is likely at a similar stage of wear.

How long do disc brake calipers last on a Acura Cl in US?

Acura Cl calipers typically last 100,000 to 150,000 kilometres, but American road salt and moisture accelerate corrosion of Cl caliper guide pins, slide pins, and piston seal boots, often causing premature failure on the Acura Cl well before that figure.

Can a sticking caliper on my Acura Cl damage my brake pads and rotors?

Yes. A Cl caliper that does not fully retract keeps the brake pad in partial contact with the rotor between stops, generating constant friction and heat on your Acura Cl. This rapidly wears both the pad and rotor surface on your Cl and generates enough heat buildup to damage adjacent components over time.
