Front and rear disk brakes are often present in most cars. The brake caliper is a key component of the braking system. When pressed, the brake pedal ensures that fluid from the master cylinder flows to the calipers. The brake fluid applies pressure on the caliper piston. This pushes the brake pads against the rotors and results in stopping or slowing your car.
There can be 2 or 4 calipers in a car. Cars have four calipers when each of the four tires has a rotor. Where two rotors and two drums are present, only two frontal calipers will be provided. Brake calipers can also rust, and as contamination increases, leakage of the fluid will occur.
The braking system also generates heat that becomes absorbed by the calipers; this eventually undermines the seals inside the calipers. It is therefore necessary to replace the brake caliper when problems are detected in the braking system
Note:
As brake calipers work in synergy with the pads, you may be required to change the brake pads when replacing the brake calipers.
Brakes generate unusual squealing noise
The car pulls hard left or right when braking
Applying the brake pedals becomes unusually easy
Brake fluid leaks are detected
Servicing your car brakes regularly ensures potential safety risks are addressed promptly. Ignoring maintenance checks and repairs can be temporarily convenient, but this often results in bigger and more expensive repairs in the long run.
Recommendation:
Follow the manufacturer’s brake service schedule
Don’t drive your car when the pads or rotors wear thin to prevent damaging the calipers
Brake fluid should be changed frequently. After every 30,000 miles is recommended.
Promptly inspect the braking system when clear fluid trickles from the tires or the brake pedals feel soft.
