Lexus Ls400 Disc Brake Caliper in Canada

The disc brake caliper on the Lexus Ls400 is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your Ls400 disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Lexus Ls400, 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 Ls400 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 Lexus Ls400

• Lexus Ls400 pulls strongly to one side during braking, a seized caliper on one side applies more force
• Brake pedal on your Ls400 feels soft or spongy and improves after pumping, caliper piston seal leaking
• One brake pad on your Lexus Ls400 axle wears significantly faster than its partner
• Brake drag on the Lexus Ls400, vehicle feels like it is fighting resistance at normal road speed
• Visible brake fluid leaking from the Ls400 caliper body or around the piston boot
• Grinding or scraping from one Lexus Ls400 wheel that persists after confirming pads are not worn

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Lexus Ls400

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Lexus Ls400

New OEM-specification calipers for the Lexus Ls400 are brand-new units manufactured to the exact piston dimensions, seal specifications, and material tolerances of the original Ls400 factory part. They offer the longest service life on your Lexus Ls400 and are the strongest choice for higher-mileage Ls400 vehicles or those operated in high-corrosion environments.

Remanufactured Calipers for the Lexus Ls400

Remanufactured calipers for the Lexus Ls400 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 Lexus Ls400 replacement applications and offer excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions - Lexus Ls400 Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Lexus Ls400 in pairs?

It is generally recommended to replace calipers as an axle pair on the Lexus Ls400, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain balanced braking. If one Ls400 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 Lexus Ls400 in Canada?

Lexus Ls400 calipers typically last 100,000 to 150,000 kilometres, but Canadian road salt and moisture accelerate corrosion of Ls400 caliper guide pins, slide pins, and piston seal boots, often causing premature failure on the Lexus Ls400 well before that figure.

Can a sticking caliper on my Lexus Ls400 damage my brake pads and rotors?

Yes. A Ls400 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 Lexus Ls400. This rapidly wears both the pad and rotor surface on your Ls400 and generates enough heat buildup to damage adjacent components over time.
