Mitsubishi Rvr Disc Brake Caliper in US

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

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

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Mitsubishi Rvr

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Mitsubishi Rvr

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

Remanufactured Calipers for the Mitsubishi Rvr

Remanufactured calipers for the Mitsubishi Rvr 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 Mitsubishi Rvr replacement applications and offer excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions - Mitsubishi Rvr Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Mitsubishi Rvr in pairs?

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

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

Can a sticking caliper on my Mitsubishi Rvr damage my brake pads and rotors?

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