Acura Tsx Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Acura Tsx seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Tsx 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 Tsx 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 Tsx together.

What Is Included in the Acura Tsx Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

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

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Acura Tsx

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Acura Tsx Is Due

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Acura Tsx Disc Brake Caliper Kits

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

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

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

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

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

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