Isuzu I 280 Disc Brake Caliper in US

The disc brake caliper on the Isuzu I 280 is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your I 280 disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Isuzu I 280, 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 I 280 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 Isuzu I 280

• Isuzu I 280 pulls strongly to one side during braking, a seized caliper on one side applies more force
• Brake pedal on your I 280 feels soft or spongy and improves after pumping, caliper piston seal leaking
• One brake pad on your Isuzu I 280 axle wears significantly faster than its partner
• Brake drag on the Isuzu I 280, vehicle feels like it is fighting resistance at normal road speed
• Visible brake fluid leaking from the I 280 caliper body or around the piston boot
• Grinding or scraping from one Isuzu I 280 wheel that persists after confirming pads are not worn

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Isuzu I 280

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Isuzu I 280

New OEM-specification calipers for the Isuzu I 280 are brand-new units manufactured to the exact piston dimensions, seal specifications, and material tolerances of the original I 280 factory part. They offer the longest service life on your Isuzu I 280 and are the strongest choice for higher-mileage I 280 vehicles or those operated in high-corrosion environments.

Remanufactured Calipers for the Isuzu I 280

Remanufactured calipers for the Isuzu I 280 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 Isuzu I 280 replacement applications and offer excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions - Isuzu I 280 Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Isuzu I 280 in pairs?

It is generally recommended to replace calipers as an axle pair on the Isuzu I 280, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain balanced braking. If one I 280 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 Isuzu I 280 in US?

Isuzu I 280 calipers typically last 100,000 to 150,000 kilometres, but American road salt and moisture accelerate corrosion of I 280 caliper guide pins, slide pins, and piston seal boots, often causing premature failure on the Isuzu I 280 well before that figure.

Can a sticking caliper on my Isuzu I 280 damage my brake pads and rotors?

Yes. A I 280 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 Isuzu I 280. This rapidly wears both the pad and rotor surface on your I 280 and generates enough heat buildup to damage adjacent components over time.
