Acura Mdx Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Acura Mdx seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Mdx keeps the brake pad in continuous contact with the rotor, wearing the pad unevenly and scoring the rotor surface. By the time the caliper on the Acura Mdx is identified as the fault, the pads are typically worn asymmetrically and the rotor is damaged. A caliper kit from GeoBrakes addresses every compromised component on your Acura Mdx together.

What Is Included in the Acura Mdx Disc Brake Caliper Kit

The kit for your Acura Mdx includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Mdx, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Acura Mdx piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Mdx caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Acura Mdx, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Mdx, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Acura Mdx application.

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Acura Mdx

A caliper kit is the right call for the Acura Mdx in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Mdx are already compromised. During a high-mileage Mdx overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Acura Mdx are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Mdx brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Acura Mdx.

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Acura Mdx

New OEM-specification calipers for the Acura Mdx are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Mdx vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Acura Mdx housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Mdx replacement applications.

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Acura Mdx Is Due

• Acura Mdx pulling to one side during braking, one caliper applying more force than the other
• One brake pad on your Mdx worn significantly more than its pair on the same axle
• Brake drag on the Acura Mdx with a wheel that runs hot after normal driving
• Soft or sinking Mdx brake pedal caused by a caliper piston seal leak
• Brake fluid visible around the Acura Mdx caliper piston boot
• Persistent metallic dragging noise from one Mdx corner not explained by worn pads

Frequently Asked Questions - Acura Mdx Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Acura Mdx at the same time?

It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Acura Mdx has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Mdx. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Mdx caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Acura Mdx after installing a caliper kit?

Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Acura Mdx to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Mdx must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Acura Mdx.

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Acura Mdx kit?

A new caliper for the Acura Mdx has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Mdx housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Acura Mdx applications.
