Lexus had the advantage of not entering the marketplace until the late 1980s when certain technologies, like disc brakes, had become commonplace. That's why there are no Lexus models with drum brakes-they all contain a quartet of Lexus brake caliper assemblies. Designed to stop your luxury vehicle quickly, quietly, and without fail, the Lexus brake caliper is really a small hydraulic press. The brake pads fit inside the Lexus brake caliper and squeeze the brake rotor when you step on the pedal. The resulting friction between the Lexus brake caliper and the brake rotor is what slows your car or SUV down. It's really a simple and elegant system, and the Lexus brake caliper has been doing its job successfully for years. It's not foolproof, though: Age takes its toll on each Lexus brake caliper. The main victims tend to be the rubber seals that hold hydraulic fluid inside the Lexus brake caliper. Rubber becomes brittle with age, and if the brake fluid in your vehicle isn't changed every couple of years, moisture can cause rust inside the Lexus brake caliper itself. That rust makes the parts inside the Lexus brake caliper rough, and they in turn damage the seals. The good news is that changing a leaky or damaged Lexus brake caliper is really easy. What's the bad news? Well, if you buy your new Lexus brake caliper from us, there is no bad news.
