Price ranges by type
Prices shown are per caliper and do not include tax or shipping. Front calipers generally cost more than rear calipers, and the choice between remanufactured, OEM new, or aftermarket parts drives the price.

Prices can vary by store, region, and promotions. Always verify the exact part number for your Silverado’s axle and trim level before purchasing.
