Hyundai Accent Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

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

What Is Included in the Hyundai Accent Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Hyundai Accent

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Hyundai Accent

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Hyundai Accent Is Due

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Hyundai Accent Caliper Kit

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Hyundai Accent Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Hyundai Accent at the same time?

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

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Hyundai Accent after installing a caliper kit?

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

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Hyundai Accent kit?

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