Gmc Yukon Xl Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

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

What Is Included in the Gmc Yukon Xl Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Gmc Yukon Xl

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Gmc Yukon Xl

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Gmc Yukon Xl Is Due

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Gmc Yukon Xl Disc Brake Caliper Kits

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

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

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

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

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

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