GeoBrakes carries a complete range of disc brake calipers confirmed to fit the Gmc S15, including new OEM-specification and quality remanufactured units meeting or exceeding original equipment standards for your S15.
The disc brake caliper on the Gmc S15 is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your S15 disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Gmc S15, brake fluid pressure forces the caliper pistons outward, squeezing the brake pads against the rotor and generating the friction that stops your vehicle. A seized, leaking, or sticking caliper on the S15 interferes with that process at the source, causing uneven braking, accelerated pad and rotor wear, and pulling to one side that worsens over time.
New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Gmc S15
New OEM-specification calipers for the Gmc S15 are brand-new units manufactured to the exact piston dimensions, seal specifications, and material tolerances of the original S15 factory part. They offer the longest service life on your Gmc S15 and are the strongest choice for higher-mileage S15 vehicles or those operated in high-corrosion environments.
Remanufactured Calipers for the Gmc S15
Remanufactured calipers for the Gmc S15 are original caliper housings completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and rebuilt with new pistons, seals, boots, and hardware. Quality remanufactured units perform identically to new calipers for most Gmc S15 replacement applications and offer excellent value.
GeoBrakes stocks both new and remanufactured calipers for the Gmc S15 to give you the right option for your S15 and budget. As an authorized retailer of Cardone, EBC, Raybestos, and other trusted brands for the Gmc S15, every caliper purchase carries the full manufacturer warranty. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper for the Gmc S15 year, axle position, and correct left or right hand fitment before you place your order.
Should I replace brake calipers on my Gmc S15 in pairs?
It is generally recommended to replace calipers as an axle pair on the Gmc S15, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain balanced braking. If one S15 caliper has failed, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same service conditions and is likely at a similar stage of wear.
How long do disc brake calipers last on a Gmc S15 in US?
Gmc S15 calipers typically last 100,000 to 150,000 kilometres, but American road salt and moisture accelerate corrosion of S15 caliper guide pins, slide pins, and piston seal boots, often causing premature failure on the Gmc S15 well before that figure.
Can a sticking caliper on my Gmc S15 damage my brake pads and rotors?
Yes. A S15 caliper that does not fully retract keeps the brake pad in partial contact with the rotor between stops, generating constant friction and heat on your Gmc S15. This rapidly wears both the pad and rotor surface on your S15 and generates enough heat buildup to damage adjacent components over time.
