Dodge Sprinter 3500 Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Dodge Sprinter 3500 seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Sprinter 3500 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 Dodge Sprinter 3500 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 Dodge Sprinter 3500 together.

What Is Included in the Dodge Sprinter 3500 Disc Brake Caliper Kit

The kit for your Dodge Sprinter 3500 includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Sprinter 3500, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Dodge Sprinter 3500 piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Sprinter 3500 caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Dodge Sprinter 3500, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Sprinter 3500, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Dodge Sprinter 3500 application.

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Dodge Sprinter 3500

A caliper kit is the right call for the Dodge Sprinter 3500 in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Sprinter 3500 are already compromised. During a high-mileage Sprinter 3500 overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Dodge Sprinter 3500 are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Sprinter 3500 brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Dodge Sprinter 3500.

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Dodge Sprinter 3500

New OEM-specification calipers for the Dodge Sprinter 3500 are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Sprinter 3500 vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Dodge Sprinter 3500 housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Sprinter 3500 replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions - Dodge Sprinter 3500 Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Dodge Sprinter 3500 at the same time?

It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Dodge Sprinter 3500 has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Sprinter 3500. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Sprinter 3500 caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Dodge Sprinter 3500 after installing a caliper kit?

Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Dodge Sprinter 3500 to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Sprinter 3500 must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Dodge Sprinter 3500.

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Dodge Sprinter 3500 kit?

A new caliper for the Dodge Sprinter 3500 has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Sprinter 3500 housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Dodge Sprinter 3500 applications.
