Hyundai Veloster Disc Brake Caliper in US

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

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

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Hyundai Veloster

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Hyundai Veloster

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

Remanufactured Calipers for the Hyundai Veloster

Remanufactured calipers for the Hyundai Veloster 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 Hyundai Veloster replacement applications and offer excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions - Hyundai Veloster Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Hyundai Veloster in pairs?

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

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

Can a sticking caliper on my Hyundai Veloster damage my brake pads and rotors?

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