Hyundai Elantra Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

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

What Is Included in the Hyundai Elantra Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

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

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Hyundai Elantra

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Hyundai Elantra Is Due

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Hyundai Elantra Disc Brake Caliper Kits

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

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

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

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

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

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