When a caliper on the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Cutlass Cruiser 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 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser 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 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser together.
The kit for your Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Cutlass Cruiser, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Cutlass Cruiser caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Cutlass Cruiser, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser application.
A caliper kit is the right call for the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Cutlass Cruiser are already compromised. During a high-mileage Cutlass Cruiser overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Cutlass Cruiser brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser.
New OEM-specification calipers for the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Cutlass Cruiser vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Cutlass Cruiser replacement applications.
Calipers for the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the Cutlass Cruiser are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.
Should I replace both calipers on my Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser at the same time?
It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Cutlass Cruiser. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Cutlass Cruiser caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.
Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser after installing a caliper kit?
Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Cutlass Cruiser must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser.
What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser kit?
A new caliper for the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Cutlass Cruiser housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser applications.
