Toyota Land Cruiser Disc Brake Caliper in US

The disc brake caliper on the Toyota Land Cruiser is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your Land Cruiser disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Toyota Land Cruiser, 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 Land Cruiser 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 Toyota Land Cruiser

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

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Toyota Land Cruiser

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Toyota Land Cruiser

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

Remanufactured Calipers for the Toyota Land Cruiser

Remanufactured calipers for the Toyota Land Cruiser 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 Toyota Land Cruiser replacement applications and offer excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions - Toyota Land Cruiser Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Toyota Land Cruiser in pairs?

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

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

Can a sticking caliper on my Toyota Land Cruiser damage my brake pads and rotors?

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