Cadillac Escalade Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

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

What Is Included in the Cadillac Escalade Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Cadillac Escalade

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Cadillac Escalade

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Cadillac Escalade Is Due

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Cadillac Escalade Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Cadillac Escalade at the same time?

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

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Cadillac Escalade after installing a caliper kit?

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

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Cadillac Escalade kit?

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