Toyota Land Cruiser Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Toyota Land Cruiser seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Land Cruiser 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 Toyota Land Cruiser 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 Toyota Land Cruiser together.

What Is Included in the Toyota Land Cruiser Disc Brake Caliper Kit

The kit for your Toyota Land Cruiser includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Land Cruiser, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Toyota Land Cruiser piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Land Cruiser caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Toyota Land Cruiser, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Land Cruiser, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Toyota Land Cruiser application.

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Toyota Land Cruiser

A caliper kit is the right call for the Toyota Land Cruiser in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Land Cruiser are already compromised. During a high-mileage Land Cruiser overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Toyota Land Cruiser are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Land Cruiser brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Toyota Land Cruiser.

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Toyota Land Cruiser

New OEM-specification calipers for the Toyota Land Cruiser are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Land Cruiser vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Toyota Land Cruiser housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Land Cruiser replacement applications.

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Toyota Land Cruiser Is Due

• Toyota Land Cruiser pulling to one side during braking, one caliper applying more force than the other
• One brake pad on your Land Cruiser worn significantly more than its pair on the same axle
• Brake drag on the Toyota Land Cruiser with a wheel that runs hot after normal driving
• Soft or sinking Land Cruiser brake pedal caused by a caliper piston seal leak
• Brake fluid visible around the Toyota Land Cruiser caliper piston boot
• Persistent metallic dragging noise from one Land Cruiser corner not explained by worn pads

Frequently Asked Questions - Toyota Land Cruiser Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Toyota Land Cruiser at the same time?

It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Toyota Land Cruiser has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Land Cruiser. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Land Cruiser caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Toyota Land Cruiser after installing a caliper kit?

Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Toyota Land Cruiser to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Land Cruiser must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Toyota Land Cruiser.

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Toyota Land Cruiser kit?

A new caliper for the Toyota Land Cruiser has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Land Cruiser housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Toyota Land Cruiser applications.
