Chevrolet Impala Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

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

What Is Included in the Chevrolet Impala Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Chevrolet Impala

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Chevrolet Impala

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Chevrolet Impala Is Due

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Chevrolet Impala Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Chevrolet Impala at the same time?

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

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Chevrolet Impala after installing a caliper kit?

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

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Chevrolet Impala kit?

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