Brake Calipers

Your braking system is a vital part of keeping your vehicle safe and being able to stop when you want to. Modern calipers for disc brakes are like clamps for your rotor. When braking, they put pressure on the brake rotor via the caliper's brake pads and one or more pistons. The calipers operate by using brake fluid pressure from the master cylinder and pedal to extend the piston and slow the vehicle. The most common symptom of a bad or failing caliper is brake fluid leakage. When your brake fluid leaks, your brakes will not work properly, putting you and your passengers at risk of not being able to stop quickly. Brake calipers can also stick. When that happens, your brakes will stay slightly pressed even if you do not have your foot on the brake pedal. That causes damage to your transmission. When you replace calipers, it's important to also purchase new brake fluid and brake cleaner.
