GeoBrakes carries a complete range of disc brake calipers confirmed to fit the Pontiac Grand Am, including new OEM-specification and quality remanufactured units meeting or exceeding original equipment standards for your Grand Am.
The disc brake caliper on the Pontiac Grand Am is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your Grand Am disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Pontiac Grand Am, 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 Grand Am interferes with that process at the source, causing uneven braking, accelerated pad and rotor wear, and pulling to one side that worsens over time.
New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Pontiac Grand Am
New OEM-specification calipers for the Pontiac Grand Am are brand-new units manufactured to the exact piston dimensions, seal specifications, and material tolerances of the original Grand Am factory part. They offer the longest service life on your Pontiac Grand Am and are the strongest choice for higher-mileage Grand Am vehicles or those operated in high-corrosion environments.
Remanufactured Calipers for the Pontiac Grand Am
Remanufactured calipers for the Pontiac Grand Am 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 Pontiac Grand Am replacement applications and offer excellent value.
GeoBrakes stocks both new and remanufactured calipers for the Pontiac Grand Am to give you the right option for your Grand Am and budget. As an authorized retailer of Cardone, EBC, Raybestos, and other trusted brands for the Pontiac Grand Am, every caliper purchase carries the full manufacturer warranty. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper for the Pontiac Grand Am year, axle position, and correct left or right hand fitment before you place your order.
Should I replace brake calipers on my Pontiac Grand Am in pairs?
It is generally recommended to replace calipers as an axle pair on the Pontiac Grand Am, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain balanced braking. If one Grand Am 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 Pontiac Grand Am in US?
Pontiac Grand Am calipers typically last 100,000 to 150,000 kilometres, but American road salt and moisture accelerate corrosion of Grand Am caliper guide pins, slide pins, and piston seal boots, often causing premature failure on the Pontiac Grand Am well before that figure.
Can a sticking caliper on my Pontiac Grand Am damage my brake pads and rotors?
Yes. A Grand Am 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 Pontiac Grand Am. This rapidly wears both the pad and rotor surface on your Grand Am and generates enough heat buildup to damage adjacent components over time.
