When replacing or easy maintenance calipers, it is recommended to lubricate rubbing and moving parts special lubricants, to ensure normal operation of the node as a whole. The caliper is one of the main components in the brake system, why it requires special attention. Here it is important to monitor the condition of the guides for the clamping brackets, the so-called “fingers”, since they are the most vulnerable spot. Moreover, the importance of periodic lubrication is even indicated in the manufacturers’ “manuals” for almost every model.

It is important to understand that if you use inappropriate means, the effect can be the opposite, even jamming of the “fingers,” pads, and pistons. The same thing awaits drivers whose guides run dry. Dirt and moisture get on them, subsequently clogging them and leading to failure. proper operation device, the block is not fully pressed, it begins to jam, and the like.

What lubricants are suitable?

In general, standard requirements are imposed on the type of impact of the lubricant and its composition. So:

First of all this temperature regime, since the caliper, in principle, operates at extreme temperatures, the lubrication must be appropriate. Minimum heat withstand is 160 degrees.

High operating conditions even at sub-zero temperatures.

It is important that the lubricant is not aggressive to rubber products and plastics. Since there are anthers on the “fingers”. If an aggressive component gets on them, the rubber may swell and simply will not stick to the “finger”. Often, such lubricants include the usual ones - lithols, solid oils. None of the above applies, as many would argue. Their main purpose is to remove squeaks and rattles.

Weather resistance - snow, rain.

The grease on the guides has become sour. Therefore, before purchasing, read the reviews carefully.

Until some time, there was a strong belief that classic solid oils and lithols are also suitable for lubricating guides, however, as already said, they are aggressive towards rubber and plastic. Therefore, the choice should fall on specialized lubricants based on mineral, synthetic oils and natural thickeners. Their properties allow the lubricant not to drain from the guides (good adhesion) and remain temperature-resistant. In addition, “synthetics” are not aggressive to seals and are resistant to water and acidic liquids. The temperature threshold is usually more than 250 degrees.

Experts distinguish two groups of products, based on their initial composition, that are suitable for lubrication:

1. Mineral. These are pastes, as they are also called, based on “mineral water” with the addition of various thickeners. The most popular thickener is bentonite, which contains metal particles and acids. The main feature of such lubricants is, in principle, the absence of temperature fluctuations from 50 to 180 degrees. The most famous products from the companies: Plastilube VR 500, Loctite LB 8106, Molykote G-3407.

2. The second group of pastes has the property of being universal, that is, they are equally suitable for “fingers” and pistons, cylinders. Moreover, they are compatible with rubber, plastic, etc. The base uses “synthetics”, but purified and with the addition of thickeners and special additives. Additives are designed to improve anti-acid and anti-wear properties. Manufacturers stand out: LOCTITE LB 8021, Mannol 9896 Kupfer, SLIPKOTE 220-R and Permatex 20356, 85188.

Among domestic proposals, we can recall MS-1600, CIATIM-221 (with prefix F, also intended for pistons), UNIOL-1. The latter is recommended in the “manual” for Vases, but it is difficult to find. Good popularity on domestic market uses universal Slipkote 220-R and Anti-Quietsch-Paste (pay attention to the marking so as not to buy anti-squeak).

By the way, regarding the domestic CIATIM-221, if it is suitable for all other parameters, then the temperature regime is only up to 200 degrees. That’s why they often use it in Russian Lada cars, some budget foreign cars like Chevrolet, KIA, Hyundai. If you actively use the brakes, the lubricant will simply leak out and that’s it.

Do the guides always need to be lubricated?

No matter how you think, however, today, not all “fingers” need lubrication. The fact is that manufacturers such as TEVES, LUCAS, ATE have structurally provided that the movement of the guides occurs not directly through the rubber seal, but through a special plastic bushing. If necessary, you can buy a repair kit (including a boot, bushing, guide and even a bracket from some manufacturers) or simply polish the guide if there are no serious wears.

By the way, lubricant will not help with serious wear on the “finger”. This is the second case when purchasing lubricant is not justified to eliminate knocking. There is only one solution - buying new “guides”.

The third point is when, when there is wear on the brackets themselves, the owners try to compensate for this with lubricant. In such cases, similarly, the lubricant simply will not be able to cope, and it will still come through. Therefore, the only correct way out is to buy new spare parts, or try to restore it after consulting with specialists.

How to lubricate correctly? How often is this done?

The first thing to remember is to first inspect the assembly for damage, perhaps wear has appeared or the boot has torn. Not uncommonly after long-term operation the formation of wear on the guides or brackets becomes the cause of knocks and squeaks. Then the most thoughtful thing to do is replace the old parts with new ones. Nowadays there are enough repair kits, even for the most advanced brands of brake systems.

There is nothing complicated about lubrication, the main thing is to remember that the rule, the more, the better, does not apply here. Just three grams is enough for one “finger”; there is no need to coat it with “mountain”. Because excess can get on the pads, it’s bad if it gets on the friction linings. As you understand, the quality of the brakes will deteriorate significantly. Don’t forget to check the movement of the guides after assembly to see if they are as movable as before.

As for the timing of lubrication, how often it needs to be done, there are no exact and scheduled periods. Those manufacturers who advise doing this agree that it is enough to lubricate after each replacement of pads, discs, pistons, or purchase of a repair kit. Well, of course, if you hear knocks or squeaks, it would be a good idea to check it, it may need lubrication.

Conclusion

I would like to summarize as follows, remember that not every car requires lubrication of the guides, check with the manufacturer what he specifically says. Perhaps there are plastic bushings for which there is simply no point in lubrication. For example, on domestic Lada, although it is recommended to use CIATIM-221, its temperature regime is not suitable for aggressive driving. The main requirements have been included in the article, try to follow them.

In addition, pay attention to the condition of the “fingers”, anthers, repairs may be necessary, etc. Approach the choice of lubricant responsibly, consider own style driving.

This unpleasant and loud defect is known firsthand to many drivers, and it causes completely different reactions. Most often, the owner prefers “not to interfere with the car’s operation” - after all, this is the easiest way, and the “sound accompaniment” does not particularly affect the operation of the braking system itself. However, there are many meticulous motorists who struggle with sound different ways- for example, by lubricating the guides and even modifying them.

What to lubricate

It would seem that what could be simpler than lubricating the caliper guides? Many owners do this - during the next “overhaul” of the brake system, they take and lubricate their fingers with whatever comes to hand. As a rule, the garage assortment includes lithol and its derivatives, as well as graphite. More advanced people are puzzled by the search specialized staff, intended specifically for use in brake system components.

And now - surprise: in most cases, both of them do the wrong thing! Yes, the caliper guide pins really need to be lubricated, but not with what is usually believed suitable lubricant, even if it is positioned that way in a car store.

Car manufacturers produce guide lubricants under their own brands.

Here is a list of original OEM lubricants from some automakers, indicating catalog numbers:

Such different lubricants

Unfortunately, in the vast majority of cases, car dealerships (both online and offline) will usually offer “the wrong thing” - that is, anti-creaking lubricant, which simply cannot be used in guides!

The fact is that copper and ceramic anti-squeak pastes are intended for application to the back side of the pads and mating elements brake calipers, but they are not suitable for “directions” for several reasons. Firstly, after lubrication with grease, lithol, graphite and other lubricants based on mineral oils rubber boots the fingers almost always swell, no longer stick to the fingers and, in fact, simply cease to perform their function.

Secondly, only special greases based on synthetic oils and a thickener are suitable for lubricating the guides. Thanks to this, the lubricant becomes refractory and does not “drain” from the guides after heating, and also does not coke over time from exposure to water and high temperatures. High-quality specialized lubricants can easily hold up to +300C, but at the same time they are non-aggressive to seals. Moreover, such lubricants not only do not melt, but also do not dissolve in water, alkalis, dilute acids, brake fluid, as well as methanol and ethanol.

Using the wrong lubricant in practice can lead to the opposite effect - that is, the lubricated guide pins become sour in the caliper, which is why the floating bracket loses its mobility, and the pads begin to jam and overheat.

On thematic forums, hundreds of pages are devoted to choosing the “right” lubricant for guides, but the theoretical calculations and practical reviews given often contradict each other, which leads to even greater confusion.

One of the most common universal lubricants is the American Slipkote 220-R DBC, although its price is somewhat steep - for an 85-gram tube they ask for about a thousand rubles! Slipkote lubricant can also be purchased in "single-use" 10-gram sachets, which are noticeably cheaper.

In car dealerships, under the guise of a suitable composition for guide pins, they often offer a fairly common Liqui lubricant Moly Bremsen Anti-Quietsch-Paste (art. 7573, 3077, 3079, 3074) is gray-blue in color, but the manufacturer itself currently positions it as an anti-squeak paste and does not recommend its use for lubricating guides and inserting into anthers. It contains a ceramic filler that is heat resistant up to 1200C, while the synthetic base can thermally degrade much earlier.

In the product line of this German manufacturer There is a suitable Anti-Quietsch-Paste (art. 7656) in red color, which does not affect rubber and plastic elements, but at the same time withstands heating up to +250C.

The VAZ car repair manual instructed to use it to lubricate the guides. waterproof lubricant UNIOL-1, made on the basis of petroleum oils. As a rule, in our time it is almost impossible to find it on sale, but it is quite possible to find a substitute analogue - calcium grease CIATIM-221. It is produced in accordance with GOST 9433-80 and is intended for lubrication of various rolling bearings. There is also a fluorinated version CIATIM-221F, which, thanks to the use of ultrafine polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), provides improved extreme pressure and anti-wear properties.

CIATIM-221 is inert to polymers and rubber, and also provides temperature Range from -60C to +150C, while withstanding short-term heating up to 200C, making it suitable for use on most “low-speed” cars such as front-wheel drive Ladas, but there are a few “buts”.

Firstly, the dropping point of CIATIM-221 according to GOST 6793-74 is about 200 degrees - that is, in many cases, with active use of brakes, it can melt and leak, so it can hardly replace “branded” foreign-made lubricants prescribed for applications on modern foreign cars.

Secondly, CIATIM-221 is very expensive and is usually found only in large containers, while literally a few grams are enough to lubricate the guides. This is why lubricant manufacturers usually sell them in small bags - but, as you already understood, it is important not to confuse the anti-squeak lubricant for brake system components with the “same” product for guides.

Lubricating the guides does not always solve the knocking problem - as a rule, when the caliper brackets wear out in the holes during driving, the parts still move, which leads to extraneous sounds.

Lubricate or replace?

For some cars, you can purchase caliper repair kits, which include boots, pins and fasteners. True, often the guides are made by someone unknown and from what - that is, from “raw” metal, and even geometric dimensions are not always maintained correctly. Some mechanics manage not to change fingers, but, without further ado, simply... rivet them with a hammer! After this, the guides can simply jam in the caliper...

This is what the finger looks like after being “repaired” with a hammer.

Many car owners have encountered the fact that the calipers began to rattle even when warranty period. Appeal to official dealer often ended with the replacement of complete units, since not all manufacturers produce individual brake caliper parts as spare parts. At the same time, for Russian VAZs and some foreign-made cars, both brackets, “palms”, and brake cylinders can be purchased separately, and factory-made!

Brake calipers are an important structural element in a car that ensures safe movement. It is necessary to regularly monitor the condition of this unit and carry out its quality maintenance. To do this, it is important to know what kind of lubricant to use for the guide supports.

Operating conditions for calipers

Calipers disc brakes operate in difficult conditions use. They are exposed to critically high temperatures, reaching 600 degrees. Especially in situations of sudden braking or when moving along mountain serpentines.

As a result of further heat removal and cooling of the elements, the temperature can be reduced to 180 degrees. Brake calipers (CT) operate under conditions of exposure to water, contaminants, as well as reagents that road services roads are sprinkled during the cold season. If during operation of the vehicle they wear out O-rings pistons, then on lubrication system brake fluid may also leak into the calipers. To prevent malfunction of the node, it is necessary to use special means for lubrication.

Treating guide supports with lubricant

Lubrication requirements

Below is a list of lubricant requirements for brake calipers:

1. The lubricant used for CT and other mechanisms should not have an aggressive effect on plastic and rubber elements, as well as elastomers. This may lead to their destruction.
2. If you decide to lubricate the calipers with a new product, you need to be sure that it is resistant to water, brake fluid and other aggressive compounds. Their hit on lubricant may cause it to dissolve and be washed out of the system.
3. The product must be resistant to work in conditions elevated temperatures- from 180 degrees or more. If the lubricant does not have this property, during operation it will melt and come out of the components.
4. A high-quality substance will be able to work without problems at critical low temperatures. It is desirable that the product does not lose its properties in temperatures down to -50 degrees and is able to retain its original characteristics in such cold weather.

Lubricants such as Litol, Nigrol or graphite paste are not suitable for processing parts, as they cannot withstand the aggressive conditions in which the calipers operate.

These products quickly dissolve and coke, which negatively affects the operation of the anthers. As a result, the use of lubricants not intended for calipers can lead to jamming of the cylinder pistons and guides. This can lead to brake failure.

The Garage TV channel provided a video that describes in detail how to lubricate the brake system elements.

Types of lubricants

Now let's look at the types of heat-resistant, high-temperature and silicone lubricants.

Synthetic or mineral pastes with added metals

Such substances are included in the group of heat-resistant anti-scuff agents. Aluminum lubricants operate over a wide temperature range, which, depending on the manufacturer, can vary from -185 to +1000 degrees. The basis of the product is a mineral or synthetic base. Manufacturers add thickeners to the composition, as well as particles of molybdenum or copper.

• The group of synthetic or mineral products includes the following subtypes:
• complex, the base of which is copper, graphite and aluminum, as well as thickening substances;
• copper, consisting of graphite and copper powder;
• ceramic products without metal; they contain ceramics and magnesium silicate;

lubricants developed on the basis of molybdenum or copper disulfide.

Mineral oil based pastes Many car owners choose refractory products based on. The substances are based on bentonite, which is used as a thickener. Manufacturers add fatty acids and metal particles to the composition. The main advantage of such products is the possibility of stable operation at temperatures from -45 to +180 degrees. Their use is permitted in machines that are operated under gentle conditions.

User Vyacheslav Ivanov in his video conducted an experiment on the use of two popular types of lubricants for braking systems.

Synthetic oil based pastes

This type of lubricant for guide supports is considered the most common and universal. It can be used not only for CT, but also for other components of the brake system vehicle. When developing the lubricant, a purified synthetic base and a complex of additives are used. Thanks to additives, substances become resistant to oxidation and corrosion and provide anti-wear properties to parts. The composition also contains thickening substances.

Synthetic-based lubricants are characterized by positive properties.

They do not dissolve in brake fluid or water, as well as in acidic and alkaline compounds. Lubricants do not evaporate and have dielectric characteristics. A product for treating guide supports on a synthetic basis is capable of successfully performing its functions in the temperature range from -40 to +300 degrees. Car owners can use these substances for rolling, sliding devices and other elements operating at elevated temperatures and high pressure.

User John CroN in his video demonstrated how the procedure for processing guide calipers is carried out using the example of a Toyota Corolla car.

Overview of lubricants for calipers and guides

Let's consider a list of lubricants based on silicone and other elements, which, according to consumer reviews, are considered the best.

So, what lubricant to use for guide calipers:

Molykote CU-7439

Molikot is manufactured in the USA based on copper powder and a semi-synthetic base. Many car owners choose this lubricant to process caliper guides. It effectively performs its functions at temperatures from -30°C to +600°C, and is resistant to work under high pressure conditions. Also, this product is not washed off under the influence of moisture and does not dissolve, and is characterized by low evaporation.

Practice has shown that Molikot effectively protects brake system parts from rust, sticking and souring. This product has received approval for use from manufacturers Nissan, Subaru, Honda and Land Rover.

MS-1600

Product Russian production. The lubricant belongs to the category of high-temperature and universal. The product works effectively in the range from -50°C to +1000°C. In practice, this lubricant functions well under conditions of the negative impact of aggressive reagents, acidic and alkaline compounds, as well as liquids. With regular use, the product does not destroy rubber seals and plastic elements of the car brake system.

One of the main features is considered to be non-stick characteristics, and the lubricant is also resistant to corrosion. The manufacturer recommends using this substance to treat the side parts brake pads, non-working surfaces, as well as pistons and guides. The lubricant does not interact with DOT 3 brake fluids, but its use is not allowed if the car has a DOT 5 brake fluid.

XADO VeryLube in the form of a spray

This remedy is considered more budget option. Its use helps prevent the pads from jamming. It is supplied to the market in the form of a green aerosol. The substance copes with its duties perfectly at temperatures from -35°C to +400°C. According to the manufacturer, the product does not have a negative effect on rubber seals and parts. To use the lubricant, you must apply five coats, waiting for each coat to dry.

Slipkote

In addition to its main purpose, this product can be used in drinking water supply systems. Reviews from car owners confirm high quality lubricants, but finding it in our market is not so easy. It effectively performs its functions, operating in temperatures ranging from -46°C to +299°C. Manufactured on the basis synthetic fluid, thickening substances and special additives. Thanks to additives, the substance is resistant to rust and oxidation.

This product has high anti-wear characteristics, which allows you to increase the service life of the calipers. Grease is initially used by many automobile manufacturers, and it is sold on the market by the brands Toyota, Permatex, Loctite, Penzoil, etc. Despite many advantages, this product has one drawback - high cost. The use of lubricant is not permitted on vehicles equipped with drum brakes.

Liqui Moly

Some car owners believe that better lubricant can not found. But judging by the reviews and results of technical tests, the product cannot be considered high quality; it has many disadvantages. According to official data, the lubricant is heat-resistant, its use is allowed at temperatures from -40°C to +1200°C. Despite the fact that the product was initially positioned as a substance for treating calipers, its status was later changed to an anti-squeak lubricant. This is due to the fact that during operation, many buyers experienced all the shortcomings and inefficiency of the work.

The manufacturer's official website states that it is not advisable to use Liqui Moly for guide calipers. But in many stores this substance is positioned specifically as a means for ST.

Brembo

A lubricant that, thanks to anti-wear and anti-corrosion additives, effectively treats and protects calipers from the negative effects of brake fluid and water. Its use allows you to save parts from rapid wear and jamming. Brembo products are supplied to Porsche, Mercedes, Nissan, Chrysler, Audi, Fiat, etc.

Permatex Ultra

Designed for treating brake system elements operating in harsh and aggressive conditions. The product can be used to lubricate bushings, plungers, couplings and pins. Laboratory studies have shown that the substance effectively protects calipers from water and corrosion and can perform its functions in both wet and dry conditions. The operating temperature range is from -40°C to +204.4°C. The substance can be used in internal and external mechanisms made of rubber or plastic.

The lubricant does not have a negative effect on parts made of ethylene propylene rubber. Use helps prevent disc brakes from squeaking, pins and bushings from sticking, as well as the formation of new sounds in the brake system. According to official data, this product is superior in its technical specifications other lubricants. The lubricant is not based on petroleum products or silicone. The product is safe for the environment.

TRW

The lubricant is designed specifically for treating the guide calipers of the car brake system. Its use is relevant in all mechanical components, hydraulic devices, working with liquid class DOT 3, DOT 4 and DOT 5.1. It does not have a negative effect on rubber and perfectly protects system elements from rapid wear. It can be used for processing sliding and linear bearing devices located in couplings, as well as bushings and spokes.

The liquid has excellent resistance to high loads and exposure to moisture, increased adhesion and protection against rust. The product is fully compatible with the materials from which the anthers and guide cuffs are made. The basis of the substance is synthetic oil and Li-complex thickening agent. The use of the product for processing aluminum parts and elements operating under conditions of increased loads is not allowed. Do not use the substance in supports brake linings and for lubricating sliding surfaces.

What and where to lubricate

Things to consider when using a lubricant:

1. If there is creaking and other extraneous sounds when braking, the anti-creaking plates must be treated with the product. Please note that parts must be lubricated on both sides. The part that is installed to the working cylinder piston does not need to be processed.
2. To simplify the procedure for moving the piston, its surface is treated with lubricant. At the same time, it is important not to overdo it, since the excess part of the substance will begin to be squeezed out of the anthers over time.
3. When operating a car, it is necessary to regularly treat the springs that are used to press the pads. It would be useful to lubricate the surfaces of the latter. Lubrication of the friction layer, which is considered working, is not allowed.
4. With help lubricant For brake guides, it is necessary to process the so-called fingers, that is, the calipers themselves. The amount of substance must be sufficient. But if there is a lot of lubricant, it can get on the working surface of the pads, which should not be allowed.

Cost of lubricants

The price of the product depends on its quality, tube volume and manufacturer. average cost lubricants for car caliper guides vary between 60-200 rubles. Cost more expensive funds can amount to up to 1000 rubles.

I started thinking about painting the calipers and started looking for a repair kit. I found a repair kit and came across a bunch of articles about lubricants. In general, I sorted it out in half - how and what to smear!
What the store clerks will offer you upon request" caliper lubricant" - these are copper and ceramic pastes, which after a while dry completely and jam everything to pieces. They can only be applied to the places where the pads stop in the caliper and the contact of the pistons to the pads, they go like anti-squeak pastes.
For the same reason, the guides cannot be smeared with graphite or copper grease...it will dry out and go away. As it turned out, you can’t smear them with lithol either - the anthers swell and the lubricant leaks out.

Now which one is needed? Need silicone synthetic high temperature grease. Now it will work as it should.

Among the universal ones, this is Slipkote® 220-R DBC (85 g tube)

There is also a 10 gram package.

Now, in order...
If you bought a repair kit (for example this):

Choose the manufacturer yourself.
From the factory, the guides are loaded with "niglube rx-2" or "niglube rm" grease (Niglube RM - Orange, Niglube RX2 - Bright red), making "nippon grease". The orange grease in the repair kit is what it is. The RX-2 can be purchased separately under the Subarov number 000041000

Made for subaru.
The red lubricant in the repair kit is a lubricant under the piston boot, it makes “cosmo oil”, you can buy it under Toyota number 08887-01206:

Compound
-Base Oil CAS number #9003-13-8 is Polyalkylene Glycol (polyalkylene glycol oil) - 74-79%.
-Thickener (lithium soap) - 12-17%
-Additives - 7-12%.
Lubrication is prescribed by the manufacturer (in in this case This is a Toyota, not Cosmo Oil Lubricants Co., Ltd.) for the cuff and main piston brake cylinder. Consumption is one tube per 100 Toyota cars.
For lubricating rubber bands, namely anthers. In no way for guides, as many people think and do (even the official TOYOTA Service is guilty of this)
Along with the original repair kit there is a packet of pink lubricant.

In general, between the anti-squeak plate and the pad, as well as in the pad guides (not in the caliper fingers!) you can use “ATE Plastilube” (“Bosch superfit” seems to be the same), number 03.9902 - 1001.2,
Lubrication on mineral based, not recommended for rubber, up to +180 C

There are several varieties of this lubricant.

There is also Toyota grease TOYOTA DISC BRAKE SHIM GREASE 5 g, p/n 08887-80409:

Black color.

Compound
- silicone oil
-silicon dioxide (silica gel)
-graphite.
Used in anti-squeak plates, as well as in pad support plates.

Solid oil, litol-24, graphite, lubricant for CV joints are not allowed! The guides will jam!
And further. Bremsen Anti-Quitsch-Paste, art. 7585, 7573, 3077, 3079, 3074 gray-blue color has a synthetic base and microceramic filler. It has heat resistance up to 1200 °C, that is, after thermal degradation of the synthetic base, the ceramic filler remains the anti-friction and non-stick component.
Application area:
For brake systems it is recommended as an anti-squeak paste. Apply a thick layer to the back and sides of brake pads to reduce vibration and squeaking when braking. Do not use as a lubricant for caliper and pad guides due to birth sickness all high-temperature pastes - coking due to overheating and water ingress. It is also not recommended to put paste under the boot of the brake working cylinder. Failure to follow these recommendations often leads to souring of the caliper guides, as a result of which the mobility of the compensation bracket is impaired, the pads become skewed, they become wedged, and the brakes overheat.

Red grease for brake systems: Anti-Quitsch-Paste, art. 7656 - 10 gram package, the closest analogue of Parmatex Plastilube paste (green). Free of fillers and silicones, interacts well with rubber covers and anthers, heat resistance up to 250˚C, which is quite enough for its field of application.
Application area:
Lubrication of caliper guide pins, placement under brake cylinder boots to protect against corrosion, dirt, and water penetration. Does not lose consistency during use. It should not be used as an anti-squeak paste due to insufficient heat resistance.
