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