What is a Brake Caliper and What Does it Do?
Your vehicle’s brake system relies on calipers to create the clamping force required to stop the wheels. Calipers house the brake pads and use hydraulic pressure to push them against the spinning rotors. When you depress the brake pedal, brake fluid from the master cylinder travels through the brake lines and into the calipers. This causes the caliper pistons to extend out, clamping the pads against the rotors and generating friction to slow the vehicle.
Signs You Need Brake Caliper Replacement
While brake calipers are designed to be durable and last through multiple pad
replacements, they are still worn items that will eventually need replacement.

Common Symptoms of Brake Caliper Issues:
Brake specialists recommend inspecting vehicle brake calipers at each brake
pad replacement for any of the above issues. Don’t ignore the warning signs –

Pulling When Braking
If a caliper is sticking and not fully releasing, it can cause the vehicle to pull to one side during braking.
Brake Pad Wear on One Side Only:
A stuck caliper will leave uneven brake pad wear, with the stuck caliper side wearing down faster.
Leaking Brake Fluid
Any leaking brake fluid points to an internal caliper seal failure and needs replacement.
Seized Caliper or Frozen Slide Pins:
Over time, corrosion and lack of lubrication can cause a caliper to seize up and not slide properly.
Damaged or Corroded Caliper Housing
While not as common, physical damage or excessive corrosion to the caliper housing can necessitate full replacement rather than just rebuilding the internal components.
The Anatomy of a Brake Caliper
While brake caliper designs vary between manufacturers and vehicle models, they all contain the same basic components:
