Nissan Versa Note Disc Brake Caliper in US

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

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

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Nissan Versa Note

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Nissan Versa Note

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

Remanufactured Calipers for the Nissan Versa Note

Remanufactured calipers for the Nissan Versa Note 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 Nissan Versa Note replacement applications and offer excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions - Nissan Versa Note Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Nissan Versa Note in pairs?

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

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

Can a sticking caliper on my Nissan Versa Note damage my brake pads and rotors?

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