Scion Xd Disc Brake Caliper in US

The disc brake caliper on the Scion Xd is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your Xd disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Scion Xd, 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 Xd interferes with that process at the source, causing uneven braking, accelerated pad and rotor wear, and pulling to one side that worsens over time.

Signs of a Failing Disc Brake Caliper on the Scion Xd

• Scion Xd pulls strongly to one side during braking, a seized caliper on one side applies more force
• Brake pedal on your Xd feels soft or spongy and improves after pumping, caliper piston seal leaking
• One brake pad on your Scion Xd axle wears significantly faster than its partner
• Brake drag on the Scion Xd, vehicle feels like it is fighting resistance at normal road speed
• Visible brake fluid leaking from the Xd caliper body or around the piston boot
• Grinding or scraping from one Scion Xd wheel that persists after confirming pads are not worn

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Scion Xd

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Scion Xd

New OEM-specification calipers for the Scion Xd are brand-new units manufactured to the exact piston dimensions, seal specifications, and material tolerances of the original Xd factory part. They offer the longest service life on your Scion Xd and are the strongest choice for higher-mileage Xd vehicles or those operated in high-corrosion environments.

Remanufactured Calipers for the Scion Xd

Remanufactured calipers for the Scion Xd 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 Scion Xd replacement applications and offer excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions - Scion Xd Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Scion Xd in pairs?

It is generally recommended to replace calipers as an axle pair on the Scion Xd, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain balanced braking. If one Xd 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 Scion Xd in US?

Scion Xd calipers typically last 100,000 to 150,000 kilometres, but American road salt and moisture accelerate corrosion of Xd caliper guide pins, slide pins, and piston seal boots, often causing premature failure on the Scion Xd well before that figure.

Can a sticking caliper on my Scion Xd damage my brake pads and rotors?

Yes. A Xd 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 Scion Xd. This rapidly wears both the pad and rotor surface on your Xd and generates enough heat buildup to damage adjacent components over time.
