We’ll bring the tools and expertise right to your doorstep for a convenient, hassle-free brake caliper replacement service.
Your vehicle’s brake system relies on calipers to create the clamping force required to stop the wheels. Calipers house the brake pads and use hydraulic pressure to push them against the spinning rotors. When you depress the brake pedal, brake fluid from the master cylinder travels through the brake lines and into the calipers. This causes the caliper pistons to extend out, clamping the pads against the rotors and generating friction to slow the vehicle.
While brake caliper designs vary between manufacturers and vehicle models, they all contain the same basic components:
The main caliper body that contains the pistons, seals, and cylinders. This housing slides on mounting brackets attached to the steering knuckle or axle.
Pistons housed inside the caliper body that extend to push the brake pads against the rotors. They are sealed to keep debris out.
The friction material pads that clamp on the rotors to create the braking friction. Pads wear down over time and require periodic replacement.
The bracket that mounts and guides the housing, with slide pins allowing the caliper to float into position as the pads make contact.
To allow brake fluid flow into and out of the caliper for hydraulic operation.
While brake calipers are designed to be durable and last through multiple pad replacements, they are still worn items that will eventually need replacement.
If a caliper is sticking and not fully releasing, it can cause the vehicle to pull to one side during braking.
A stuck caliper will leave uneven brake pad wear, with the stuck caliper side wearing down faster.
Any leaking brake fluid points to an internal caliper seal failure and needs replacement.
Over time, corrosion and lack of lubrication can cause a caliper to seize up and not slide properly.
While not as common, physical damage or excessive corrosion to the caliper housing can necessitate full replacement rather than just rebuilding the internal components.
Brake specialists recommend inspecting vehicle brake calipers at each brake pad replacement for any of the above issues. Don’t ignore the warning signs – a failing caliper will only get worse and can lead to a complete brake system failure if not addressed.
