A brake caliper is a vital component of the disc braking system. It houses the brake pistons and pads, and its main function is to apply hydraulic pressure to the brake pads, pressing them against the brake disc (rotor). This friction slows down or stops the vehicle. Without a properly functioning caliper, braking performance and safety are compromised.
There are mainly two types of brake calipers:
Floating (Sliding) Caliper: Moves laterally on guide pins; commonly used in most vehicles.
Fixed Caliper: Bolted in place with pistons on both sides of the rotor; found in performance and heavy-duty vehicles.
The choice depends on the vehicle’s braking system design and performance requirements.
Typical symptoms include:
Uneven or rapid brake pad wear
Vehicle pulling to one side during braking
Brake fluid leaks near the wheel area
Soft or spongy brake pedal
Burning smell or high heat from a sticking caliper
Reduced braking efficiency or dragging noise after releasing the pedal
If any of these signs appear, the caliper should be inspected or replaced immediately.
To ensure proper fitment, verify the following details before purchase:
OEM part number
Vehicle make, model, year, and engine type
Axle position (front or rear)
Piston size and count (e.g., single, twin, or four-piston)
Brake system type (e.g., ATE, Bosch, TRW, Brembo)
If uncertain, contact us with your VIN or chassis number for compatibility confirmation.
While not always required, it’s highly recommended to replace calipers in pairs (left and right) on the same axle. This ensures balanced braking pressure, even pad wear, and consistent braking performance. When replacing a caliper, it’s also good practice to inspect and replace brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid if needed.
