Honda Cr Z Disc Brake Caliper in US

The disc brake caliper on the Honda Cr Z is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your Cr Z disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Honda Cr Z, 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 Cr Z interferes with that process at the source, causing uneven braking, accelerated pad and rotor wear, and pulling to one side that worsens over time.

Signs of a Failing Disc Brake Caliper on the Honda Cr Z

• Honda Cr Z pulls strongly to one side during braking, a seized caliper on one side applies more force
• Brake pedal on your Cr Z feels soft or spongy and improves after pumping, caliper piston seal leaking
• One brake pad on your Honda Cr Z axle wears significantly faster than its partner
• Brake drag on the Honda Cr Z, vehicle feels like it is fighting resistance at normal road speed
• Visible brake fluid leaking from the Cr Z caliper body or around the piston boot
• Grinding or scraping from one Honda Cr Z wheel that persists after confirming pads are not worn

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Honda Cr Z

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Honda Cr Z

New OEM-specification calipers for the Honda Cr Z are brand-new units manufactured to the exact piston dimensions, seal specifications, and material tolerances of the original Cr Z factory part. They offer the longest service life on your Honda Cr Z and are the strongest choice for higher-mileage Cr Z vehicles or those operated in high-corrosion environments.

Remanufactured Calipers for the Honda Cr Z

Remanufactured calipers for the Honda Cr Z 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 Honda Cr Z replacement applications and offer excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions - Honda Cr Z Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Honda Cr Z in pairs?

It is generally recommended to replace calipers as an axle pair on the Honda Cr Z, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain balanced braking. If one Cr Z 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 Honda Cr Z in US?

Honda Cr Z calipers typically last 100,000 to 150,000 kilometres, but American road salt and moisture accelerate corrosion of Cr Z caliper guide pins, slide pins, and piston seal boots, often causing premature failure on the Honda Cr Z well before that figure.

Can a sticking caliper on my Honda Cr Z damage my brake pads and rotors?

Yes. A Cr Z 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 Honda Cr Z. This rapidly wears both the pad and rotor surface on your Cr Z and generates enough heat buildup to damage adjacent components over time.
