WHAT IS A BRAKE CALIPER AND WHAT ROLE DOES IT PLAY?
Brake calipers are a crucial component of your vehicle’s disc braking system, housing the vehicle’s brake pads and pistons. Brake calipers fit onto each wheel’s spinning rotor (disc) and work like a clamp to stop the wheel from turning when you press on the brake pedal. A pair of metal plates, known as brake pads, are found inside each caliper. The main purpose of the brake caliper is to squeeze the brake pads against the rotor to slow or stop the car.
Unquestionably they are of the most important brake parts on your car and as such one of the most important safety features in your car. Brake calipers need to be maintained, repaired, or replaced if they show signs of failing.
WHAT IS THE LIFETIME EXPECTANCY OF A BRAKE CALIPER?
Brake calipers are resilient components and are supposed to last the life of the car but realistically they can get corroded and wear out over time. Furthermore, factors like hard braking, lack of maintenance, and bad road conditions can contribute to premature brake caliper wear. It is estimated, that with proper driving and maintenance, you can get approx 10 years or up to 100,000 miles from your brake caliper, although it is different for every vehicle.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF A DEFECTIVE BRAKE CALIPER?
These are the most common signs of a bad brake caliper that you need to be aware of:
- The vehicle pulls to one side
- High-pitched Squealing or frictional sounds
- Uneven brake pad wear
- Leaking brake fluid
- Clunking sound
- Vibration when braking
- Burning smell
- The brake light comes on
