Lexus Nx300h Disc Brake Caliper in US

The disc brake caliper on the Lexus Nx300h is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your Nx300h disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Lexus Nx300h, 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 Nx300h 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 Lexus Nx300h

• Lexus Nx300h pulls strongly to one side during braking, a seized caliper on one side applies more force
• Brake pedal on your Nx300h feels soft or spongy and improves after pumping, caliper piston seal leaking
• One brake pad on your Lexus Nx300h axle wears significantly faster than its partner
• Brake drag on the Lexus Nx300h, vehicle feels like it is fighting resistance at normal road speed
• Visible brake fluid leaking from the Nx300h caliper body or around the piston boot
• Grinding or scraping from one Lexus Nx300h wheel that persists after confirming pads are not worn

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Lexus Nx300h

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Lexus Nx300h

New OEM-specification calipers for the Lexus Nx300h are brand-new units manufactured to the exact piston dimensions, seal specifications, and material tolerances of the original Nx300h factory part. They offer the longest service life on your Lexus Nx300h and are the strongest choice for higher-mileage Nx300h vehicles or those operated in high-corrosion environments.

Remanufactured Calipers for the Lexus Nx300h

Remanufactured calipers for the Lexus Nx300h 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 Lexus Nx300h replacement applications and offer excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions - Lexus Nx300h Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Lexus Nx300h in pairs?

It is generally recommended to replace calipers as an axle pair on the Lexus Nx300h, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain balanced braking. If one Nx300h 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 Lexus Nx300h in US?

Lexus Nx300h calipers typically last 100,000 to 150,000 kilometres, but American road salt and moisture accelerate corrosion of Nx300h caliper guide pins, slide pins, and piston seal boots, often causing premature failure on the Lexus Nx300h well before that figure.

Can a sticking caliper on my Lexus Nx300h damage my brake pads and rotors?

Yes. A Nx300h 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 Lexus Nx300h. This rapidly wears both the pad and rotor surface on your Nx300h and generates enough heat buildup to damage adjacent components over time.
