GeoBrakes stocks disc brake caliper kits confirmed to fit the Saturn Ls, pairing a replacement caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Ls with matched brake pads, caliper hardware, and in many cases a new rotor, so the entire brake corner on your Saturn Ls is restored in a single service. Every kit is confirmed for the Saturn Ls exact year, make, model, axle, and side, ships with a 100% fitment guarantee and full manufacturer warranty, and qualifies for free delivery on orders over $99.
When a caliper on the Saturn Ls seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Ls 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 Saturn Ls 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 Saturn Ls together.
The kit for your Saturn Ls includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Ls, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Saturn Ls piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Ls caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Saturn Ls, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Ls, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Saturn Ls application.
A caliper kit is the right call for the Saturn Ls in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Ls are already compromised. During a high-mileage Ls overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Saturn Ls are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Ls brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Saturn Ls.
New OEM-specification calipers for the Saturn Ls are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Ls vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Saturn Ls housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Ls replacement applications.
Calipers for the Saturn Ls are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the Ls are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Saturn Ls exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.
Should I replace both calipers on my Saturn Ls at the same time?
It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Saturn Ls has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Ls. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Ls caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.
Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Saturn Ls after installing a caliper kit?
Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Saturn Ls to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Ls must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Saturn Ls.
What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Saturn Ls kit?
A new caliper for the Saturn Ls has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Ls housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Saturn Ls applications.
