Acura Rdx Disc Brake Caliper in US

The disc brake caliper on the Acura Rdx is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your Rdx disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Acura Rdx, 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 Rdx 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 Rdx

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

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

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Acura Rdx

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

Remanufactured Calipers for the Acura Rdx

Remanufactured calipers for the Acura Rdx 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 Rdx replacement applications and offer excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions - Acura Rdx Disc Brake Caliper

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

It is generally recommended to replace calipers as an axle pair on the Acura Rdx, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain balanced braking. If one Rdx 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 Rdx in US?

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

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

Yes. A Rdx 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 Rdx. This rapidly wears both the pad and rotor surface on your Rdx and generates enough heat buildup to damage adjacent components over time.
