The Importance of Brake Calipers
Brake calipers are an essential part of your brake system. The actions of your brake calipers are much like the actions of the outer portion of a bicycle brake. Stepping on your brake pedal forces hydraulic brake fluid through your brake system, where it meets brake calipers. Your brake calipers then act as a clamp to create contact between brake pads and brake rotors. This contact is what creates the friction necessary to slow down your wheels. The braking process would not be possible without brake calipers!
Brake Caliper Service & Replacement
Unlike brake pads and brake fluid, there is no reason to routinely replace or service your brake calipers. However, it is essential to closely monitor their condition and performance throughout the life of your vehicle. Brake calipers can collect corrosion and brake pad dust. Brake caliper pistons can become stuck and require lubrication and repair. In the case of many brake caliper issues, it makes the most sense to replace the calipers completely. Signs of faulty brake calipers include unusual braking noises, the vehicle pulling to one side while braking, and brake fluid leaks.
