GeoBrakes stocks disc brake caliper kits confirmed to fit the Oldsmobile Cutlass, pairing a replacement caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Cutlass with matched brake pads, caliper hardware, and in many cases a new rotor, so the entire brake corner on your Oldsmobile Cutlass is restored in a single service. Every kit is confirmed for the Oldsmobile Cutlass exact year, make, model, axle, and side, ships with a 100% fitment guarantee and full manufacturer warranty, and qualifies for free delivery on orders over $99.
When a caliper on the Oldsmobile Cutlass seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Cutlass 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 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 together.
The kit for your Oldsmobile Cutlass includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Cutlass, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Oldsmobile Cutlass piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Cutlass caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Oldsmobile Cutlass, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Cutlass, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Oldsmobile Cutlass application.
A caliper kit is the right call for the Oldsmobile Cutlass in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Cutlass are already compromised. During a high-mileage Cutlass overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Oldsmobile Cutlass are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Cutlass brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Oldsmobile Cutlass.
New OEM-specification calipers for the Oldsmobile Cutlass are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Cutlass vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Oldsmobile Cutlass housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Cutlass replacement applications.
Calipers for the Oldsmobile Cutlass are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the Cutlass are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Oldsmobile Cutlass exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.
Should I replace both calipers on my Oldsmobile Cutlass at the same time?
It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Oldsmobile Cutlass has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Cutlass. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Cutlass caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.
Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Oldsmobile Cutlass after installing a caliper kit?
Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Oldsmobile Cutlass to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Cutlass must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Oldsmobile Cutlass.
What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Oldsmobile Cutlass kit?
A new caliper for the Oldsmobile Cutlass has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Cutlass housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Oldsmobile Cutlass applications.
