Chevrolet Tahoe Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

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

What Is Included in the Chevrolet Tahoe Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

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

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Chevrolet Tahoe

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Chevrolet Tahoe Is Due

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Chevrolet Tahoe Disc Brake Caliper Kits

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

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

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

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

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

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