When a caliper on the Kia Forte seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Forte 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 Kia Forte 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 Kia Forte together.
The kit for your Kia Forte includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Forte, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Kia Forte piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Forte caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Kia Forte, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Forte, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Kia Forte application.
A caliper kit is the right call for the Kia Forte in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Forte are already compromised. During a high-mileage Forte overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Kia Forte are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Forte brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Kia Forte.
New OEM-specification calipers for the Kia Forte are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Forte vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Kia Forte housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Forte replacement applications.
Calipers for the Kia Forte are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the Forte are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Kia Forte exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.
Should I replace both calipers on my Kia Forte at the same time?
It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Kia Forte has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Forte. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Forte caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.
Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Kia Forte after installing a caliper kit?
Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Kia Forte to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Forte must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Kia Forte.
What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Kia Forte kit?
A new caliper for the Kia Forte has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Forte housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Kia Forte applications.
