Chrysler 200 Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Chrysler 200 seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your 200 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 Chrysler 200 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 Chrysler 200 together.

What Is Included in the Chrysler 200 Disc Brake Caliper Kit

The kit for your Chrysler 200 includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the 200, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Chrysler 200 piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the 200 caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Chrysler 200, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your 200, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Chrysler 200 application.

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Chrysler 200

A caliper kit is the right call for the Chrysler 200 in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your 200 are already compromised. During a high-mileage 200 overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Chrysler 200 are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the 200 brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Chrysler 200.

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Chrysler 200

New OEM-specification calipers for the Chrysler 200 are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for 200 vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Chrysler 200 housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most 200 replacement applications.

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Chrysler 200 Is Due

• Chrysler 200 pulling to one side during braking, one caliper applying more force than the other
• One brake pad on your 200 worn significantly more than its pair on the same axle
• Brake drag on the Chrysler 200 with a wheel that runs hot after normal driving
• Soft or sinking 200 brake pedal caused by a caliper piston seal leak
• Brake fluid visible around the Chrysler 200 caliper piston boot
• Persistent metallic dragging noise from one 200 corner not explained by worn pads

Why GeoBrakes for the Chrysler 200 Caliper Kit

Calipers for the Chrysler 200 are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the 200 are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Chrysler 200 exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions - Chrysler 200 Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Chrysler 200 at the same time?

It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Chrysler 200 has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your 200. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second 200 caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Chrysler 200 after installing a caliper kit?

Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Chrysler 200 to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the 200 must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Chrysler 200.

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Chrysler 200 kit?

A new caliper for the Chrysler 200 has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original 200 housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Chrysler 200 applications.
