When it comes to staying safe on the road, your Subaru's brakes do more than slow you down-they protect you during every mile, every turn, and every unexpected moment. At the center of this system are the brake calipers, the components responsible for pressing the brake pads against the rotors to create stopping power. Over time, road conditions, heat, and normal wear can begin to affect the way your calipers function, making your brakes feel uneven or less responsive.
At Capitol Subaru in Salem, Oregon, we know how important it is for drivers to have braking components they can trust. That's why our parts department offers high-quality remanufactured Subaru brake calipers designed to match original factory performance. These calipers aren't simple repairs-they're completely reconditioned units built to meet Subaru strict engineering standards. For Subaru owners in Salem who want reliable braking without the cost of brand-new components, remanufactured calipers offer an ideal balance of safety, value, and long-term dependable performance.
How Subaru Remanufactures Brake Calipers to OEM Standards
A remanufactured Subaru brake caliper isn't a used part-it's a precision-rebuilt component restored to factory specifications. Subaru uses an advanced, multi-step process to ensure every caliper performs exactly like the original equipment. It starts with a detailed teardown, where the housing is inspected to verify that the casting meets OEM engineering drawings with zero cracks, distortion, or structural compromise. Only calipers that pass this stage move forward.
From there, Subaru replaces every wear-sensitive component using new, genuine Subaru parts. Pistons are thoroughly cleaned, polished, lubricated, and sealed to guarantee smooth, consistent movement. All metal components-such as bleeder screws, bolts, and rings-are replaced entirely with brand-new hardware. Rubber parts, including dust boots and piston seals, are swapped out for fresh Subaru components to ensure reliable sealing and long-term durability.
Before reassembly, the caliper body undergoes extensive cleaning with precision glass-bead blasting, a method that removes debris without damaging the cylinder bore or internal grooves. Once the housing is cleaned, a protective enamel coating is applied to resist corrosion for years to come. Final assembly takes place in a clean, controlled environment to eliminate contamination, and each caliper is then subjected to strict pneumatic testing to confirm a leak-free, performance-ready seal. The result is a Genuine Subaru Remanufactured Part backed by warranty coverage and engineered to last.
