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