Nissan Pathfinder Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

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

What Is Included in the Nissan Pathfinder Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

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

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Nissan Pathfinder

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Nissan Pathfinder Is Due

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Nissan Pathfinder Caliper Kit

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Nissan Pathfinder Disc Brake Caliper Kits

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

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

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

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

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

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