OEM Brake Calipers

Brake calipers play a crucial role in your vehicle's smooth operation and reliable stopping power. Positioned near the wheels, these components are responsible for applying pressure to the brake pads, ultimately squeezing them against the rotor, slowing down or stopping the rotation of the wheels.

Signs that indicate it may be time to replace your brake calipers include:

1. Squealing or Grinding Noises: If you hear unusual sounds when applying the brakes, such as high-pitched squeals or grinding noises, it could be an indication that the brake calipers are worn or damaged.
2. Pulling or Uneven Braking: When the brake calipers are not functioning properly, you may experience a pulling sensation while braking. The vehicle may veer to one side, requiring increased effort on the steering wheel to maintain a straight line.
3. Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal: A mushy or spongy brake pedal can be a sign of brake caliper issues. If you notice decreased responsiveness or a lack of firmness in the brake pedal, it's important to inspect the calipers and replace if necessary.
4. Leaking Brake Fluid: Brake fluid leaks around the brake calipers can indicate a faulty caliper seal or piston. A noticeable decrease in brake fluid levels or the presence of fluid stains around the wheels should be addressed ASAP.
5. Uneven Brake Pad Wear: If you notice your brake pads are wearing down unevenly, it may be due to a malfunctioning brake caliper. Uneven wear patterns can compromise braking performance and increase the risk of accidents.
