Brake caliper rubber caps?
 
The rubber caps on my brake calipers seem to have deteriorated significantly. The car only has 16,000 miles and is a 2014.

Should I replace these? What are the for and what is the nozzle they seem to be covering?

Presuming the pic shows the rubber dust cover to the (brake bleed valve) thats not something a dealer would sell by itself.

You could look at an local auto parts for a small rubber vacuum air nipple cover.

It'll be fine if it doesn't have it as it's just a cover.


Your pic is a bad link so I can't fix it for you :ugh2:

Make sure the link it ends in .jpg

I have the same issue. I would love to buy some new caps for my brakes

You can find brake bleeder dust caps* at most auto parts stores. As far as I know, they are one-size-fits-all.


*Just an example, not a recommendation

This is what I bought. It was a total of a little over $7 shipped for 10.

My local Napa Auto didn't have / could find these. Perhaps if I was more articulate. So I went with Amazon.

Thanks guys. Someone ripped off two of my caps, front and rear drivers side today. Went to Nissan stealership and they wanted to sell me the entire assembly with caps for something like $170 CDN, f@ck off. Cheers
