GeoBrakes stocks disc brake caliper kits confirmed to fit the Bmw Activehybrid 5, pairing a replacement caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Activehybrid 5 with matched brake pads, caliper hardware, and in many cases a new rotor, so the entire brake corner on your Bmw Activehybrid 5 is restored in a single service. Every kit is confirmed for the Bmw Activehybrid 5 exact year, make, model, axle, and side, ships with a 100% fitment guarantee and full manufacturer warranty, and qualifies for free delivery on orders over $99.
When a caliper on the Bmw Activehybrid 5 seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Activehybrid 5 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 Bmw Activehybrid 5 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 Bmw Activehybrid 5 together.
The kit for your Bmw Activehybrid 5 includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Activehybrid 5, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Bmw Activehybrid 5 piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Activehybrid 5 caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Bmw Activehybrid 5, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Activehybrid 5, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Bmw Activehybrid 5 application.
A caliper kit is the right call for the Bmw Activehybrid 5 in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Activehybrid 5 are already compromised. During a high-mileage Activehybrid 5 overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Bmw Activehybrid 5 are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Activehybrid 5 brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Bmw Activehybrid 5.
New OEM-specification calipers for the Bmw Activehybrid 5 are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Activehybrid 5 vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Bmw Activehybrid 5 housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Activehybrid 5 replacement applications.
Calipers for the Bmw Activehybrid 5 are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the Activehybrid 5 are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Bmw Activehybrid 5 exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.
Should I replace both calipers on my Bmw Activehybrid 5 at the same time?
It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Bmw Activehybrid 5 has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Activehybrid 5. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Activehybrid 5 caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.
Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Bmw Activehybrid 5 after installing a caliper kit?
Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Bmw Activehybrid 5 to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Activehybrid 5 must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Bmw Activehybrid 5.
What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Bmw Activehybrid 5 kit?
A new caliper for the Bmw Activehybrid 5 has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Activehybrid 5 housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Bmw Activehybrid 5 applications.
