Original Toyota Brake Calipers

Best Practices to Make the Brake Caliper Last

Whether you're off-roading or commuting in your Toyota 4Runner, your brake calipers work hard to ensure safe stopping power. If neglected, worn or damaged calipers can compromise your safety and reduce braking efficiency.

Do You Need to Replace the Brake Caliper?

Watch out for signs like uneven brake pad wear, fluid leaks near the wheels, or a pulling sensation when braking. These often indicate a seized or failing caliper that may need replacement.

How to Make Your Toyota's Calipers Last

1. Keep the Caliper Lubricated

Use high-temperature brake lubricant on the caliper pins during every brake job to prevent sticking and binding.

2. Flush Brake Fluid Regularly

Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, leading to internal corrosion—flushing it helps extend caliper life.

3. Avoid Riding the Brakes

Consistent hard braking overheats the system, accelerating caliper wear and damaging the seals.

4. Use Quality Brake Pads

Low-quality pads can wear unevenly or crumble, placing uneven stress on the calipers.
