Nissan Leaf Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Nissan Leaf seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Leaf 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 Nissan Leaf 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 Nissan Leaf together.

What Is Included in the Nissan Leaf Disc Brake Caliper Kit

The kit for your Nissan Leaf includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Leaf, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Nissan Leaf piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Leaf caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Nissan Leaf, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Leaf, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Nissan Leaf application.

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Nissan Leaf

A caliper kit is the right call for the Nissan Leaf in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Leaf are already compromised. During a high-mileage Leaf overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Nissan Leaf are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Leaf brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Nissan Leaf.

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Nissan Leaf

New OEM-specification calipers for the Nissan Leaf are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Leaf vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Nissan Leaf housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Leaf replacement applications.

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Nissan Leaf Is Due

• Nissan Leaf pulling to one side during braking, one caliper applying more force than the other
• One brake pad on your Leaf worn significantly more than its pair on the same axle
• Brake drag on the Nissan Leaf with a wheel that runs hot after normal driving
• Soft or sinking Leaf brake pedal caused by a caliper piston seal leak
• Brake fluid visible around the Nissan Leaf caliper piston boot
• Persistent metallic dragging noise from one Leaf corner not explained by worn pads

Why GeoBrakes for the Nissan Leaf Caliper Kit

Calipers for the Nissan Leaf are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the Leaf are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Nissan Leaf exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions - Nissan Leaf Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Nissan Leaf at the same time?

It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Nissan Leaf has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Leaf. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Leaf caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Nissan Leaf after installing a caliper kit?

Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Nissan Leaf to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Leaf must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Nissan Leaf.

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Nissan Leaf kit?

A new caliper for the Nissan Leaf has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Leaf housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Nissan Leaf applications.
