Gmc Canyon Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

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

What Is Included in the Gmc Canyon Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Gmc Canyon

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Gmc Canyon

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Gmc Canyon Is Due

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Gmc Canyon Caliper Kit

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Gmc Canyon Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Gmc Canyon at the same time?

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

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Gmc Canyon after installing a caliper kit?

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

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Gmc Canyon kit?

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