Brake Caliper

Brake Caliper

Brake calipers are essential parts of disc brakes. They house the brake pads and use hydraulic pressure to clamp them against the rotor, creating the friction needed to slow the car. Most vehicles have one caliper per wheel on the front, and sometimes on the rear too. Calipers can seize or stick over time due to corrosion or debris, causing uneven braking, pulling to one side, or overheating. Regular maintenance can help prevent these issues.
