Brake Calipers

The car brakes, pads, and pistons in a vehicle are protected by the brake caliper. The brake calipers central role is to slow the vehicle's wheel by creating friction with the brake rotors. When the brake pedal in a car is pushed, brake fluid builds pressure on pistons near the brake caliper, forcing the pads against the brake rotors and slowing the vehicle. Some of the symptoms of poor brake calipers include leaking fluid on the brakes, spongy or soft-pedals, burning smell while driving, bouncing up and down while driving and vibration while braking. Find OEM replacements for your brake calipers if yours are worn out.
