When it comes to replacing your brake calipers, it's easy to be tempted by cheap aftermarket products but that's not a risk you can afford to take. Brake calipers are an essential part of the brake assembly, which allows your car to come to a complete stop. Without reliable brakes you could be putting your safety and the safety of everyone else on the road in jeopardy. At Shingle Springs Subaru, we understand how important safety is and that's why we recommend using only genuine Subaru remanufactured brake calipers. Subaru remanufactured parts may cost more than aftermarket parts but they come with the peace of mind that only genuine Subaru quality can bring. As with all their remanufactured parts, all Subaru remanufactured brake calipers undergo strenuous testing to ensure that they meet the high standards of safety and reliability that Subaru is known for. Before they are released for use, each part is carefully cleaned and any worn parts are replaced with OEM parts such as bolts, sleeves and pistons to provide the best quality brakes. It's that commitment to quality that makes Shingle Springs Subaru recommend using genuine Subaru remanufactured brake calipers.
A) Piston
The key component of the brake caliper, the piston forces the brake pad to contact the brake rotor, causing your vehicle to stop. During the remanufacturing process, the piston is carefully cleaned, polished and inspected to ensure that it meets Subaru's exacting standards. More than 120% of the suggested piston grease is applied during assembly to allow for smooth operation and to act as a secondary boot seal within the brake caliper.
B) Metal Parts
All metal components, including bolts, screws and bleeder screw rings are inspected and any worn components are replaced with 100% brand new components to give the remanufactured brake caliper a like-new feel.
C) Rubber Parts
All rubber components, including the piston seal and dust boot, are replaced with new genuine Subaru parts during the remanufacturing process, regardless of the amount of wear and tear they have sustained.
The entire remanufacturing process is handled with precision in order to maintain Subaru's high standards of quality. This includes ensuring that the core is identical to the OEM drawings, including casting marks, and free of any damage. Every precaution, including special teardown equipment and tools, is employed while working on the car to prevent any damage.
Cleaning is a particularly important part of the process and must be done very carefully in order to prevent damage. This is managed by using glass bead shot, which is more effective than steel bead. With the glass bead cleaning method, internal components such as the seal grooves, threads and cylinder core are treated more gently and there is less likelihood of damage. After cleaning, the brake caliper is then finished with an enamel based paint to prevent rust, assembled in a clean, dust-free environment and tested to ensure the reliability of the leakproof seal.
