Hyundai Sonata Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

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

What Is Included in the Hyundai Sonata Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

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

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Hyundai Sonata

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Hyundai Sonata Is Due

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Hyundai Sonata Caliper Kit

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Hyundai Sonata Disc Brake Caliper Kits

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

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

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

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

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

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