Chevrolet Bolt Ev Disc Brake Caliper in US

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

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

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Chevrolet Bolt Ev

Frequently Asked Questions - Chevrolet Bolt Ev Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Chevrolet Bolt Ev in pairs?

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

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

Can a sticking caliper on my Chevrolet Bolt Ev damage my brake pads and rotors?

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