Brake Caliper

The brake caliper clamps the brake pads against the disc to slow the vehicle — making it one of the most safety-critical parts on any car. PartStall stocks over 10,000 brake calipers: new and remanufactured units for front and rear axles, plus carrier brackets and repair kits.

• Vehicle compatibility: always match the caliper to your car's make, model, year, engine and axle position — front and rear calipers differ in size and design.
• New vs. remanufactured: a new caliper offers the longest service life; a quality remanufactured unit can be a cost-effective choice when the housing is undamaged.
• Repair vs. replacement: worn seals and pistons can often be addressed with a repair kit, but a heavily corroded or cracked caliper should be replaced entirely.
• Brand quality: choose a reputable manufacturer, especially for front calipers which handle the highest braking forces.
• Kit contents: some calipers include mounting hardware and dust caps — check what is included before ordering.

Can a brake caliper be repaired instead of replaced? If the caliper body is structurally sound, a repair kit with new pistons and seals is often sufficient. Heavily corroded, cracked or leaking calipers should be replaced for safety.

How do I choose the correct brake caliper? Use your VIN or enter make, model, year and engine to confirm fitment — an incompatible caliper can cause uneven braking and may compromise safety.

Are front and rear brake calipers interchangeable? No. Front calipers are typically larger and handle greater braking force; rear calipers on many cars incorporate a handbrake mechanism. Always verify compatibility before purchase.
