Fiat Tipo Front & Rear Brake Caliper Guide Pin Kit (1989 - 1993)

Fiat Tipo Front & Rear Brake Caliper Guide Pin Kit (1989 - 1993)

Engineered to restore smooth movement and precise braking performance on front and rear disc brake systems for Fiat Tipo (1989 - 1993 / 160 Chassis) vehicles, this Front and Rear Brake Caliper Guide Pin Kit is manufactured to strict OEM specifications.

Worn, corroded, or seized slider pins cause uneven brake pad wear, persistent brake dragging, excessive heat buildup, and annoying rattling noises from the suspension. Replacing your guide pins restores free slider movement and optimizes braking safety.

Why Is Fiat Tipo Caliper Pin Replacement Important?

Caliper guide pins allow the floating caliper to slide smoothly back and forth, distributing equal clamping force across both brake pads. Over time, exposure to moisture, road salt, extreme brake temperatures, and dried grease causes the pins to corrode or stick inside the carrier bracket. Sticking slider pins prevent the pads from retracting away from the rotor, leading to dangerous brake drag and premature wear.

Symptoms of Worn or Seized Caliper Guide Pins

• Rattling Noise Over Bumps: Excessive play between the guide pins and carrier bushings causing metallic clattering while driving over uneven roads.

• Brake Drag & Overheating: The caliper fails to release after braking, causing constant friction, hot wheels, and burning odours.

• Uneven Pad and Rotor Wear: One side of the brake pad wears down significantly faster than the other.

• Vehicle Pulling Under Braking: Unequal braking pressure between wheels causing steering instability.

Cost-Effective Solution: Rebuilding the sliding mechanism with new precision pins and protective rubber boots resolves caliper noise and sticking without needing expensive complete caliper replacements.

Key Product Features

• Precision Fitment: 100% compatible with front and rear disc brake calipers on 1989 - 1993 Fiat Tipo 160 chassis models.

• Hardened Steel Construction: Heat-treated steel alloy for high tensile strength, anti-corrosion, and resistance to thermal expansion.

• Protective EPDM Rubber Boots: Premium dust seals that prevent dirt/water ingress while retaining high-temperature grease.
