Acura Rsx Disc Brake Caliper in US

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

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

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

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Acura Rsx

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

Remanufactured Calipers for the Acura Rsx

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Acura Rsx Disc Brake Caliper

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

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

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

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

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