Honda Ridgeline Disc Brake Caliper in US

The disc brake caliper on the Honda Ridgeline is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your Ridgeline disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Honda Ridgeline, 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 Ridgeline 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 Ridgeline

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

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Honda Ridgeline

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Honda Ridgeline

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

Remanufactured Calipers for the Honda Ridgeline

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Honda Ridgeline Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Honda Ridgeline in pairs?

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

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

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

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