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