When a caliper on the Kia Forte5 seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Forte5 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 Forte5 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 Forte5 together.
The kit for your Kia Forte5 includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Forte5, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Kia Forte5 piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Forte5 caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Kia Forte5, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Forte5, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Kia Forte5 application.
A caliper kit is the right call for the Kia Forte5 in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Forte5 are already compromised. During a high-mileage Forte5 overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Kia Forte5 are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Forte5 brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Kia Forte5.
New OEM-specification calipers for the Kia Forte5 are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Forte5 vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Kia Forte5 housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Forte5 replacement applications.
Calipers for the Kia Forte5 are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the Forte5 are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Kia Forte5 exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.
Should I replace both calipers on my Kia Forte5 at the same time?
It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Kia Forte5 has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Forte5. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Forte5 caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.
Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Kia Forte5 after installing a caliper kit?
Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Kia Forte5 to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Forte5 must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Kia Forte5.
What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Kia Forte5 kit?
A new caliper for the Kia Forte5 has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Forte5 housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Kia Forte5 applications.
