OEM Brake Calipers

The brake caliper is a crucial part of your vehicle’s disc brake system. Commonly made of cast iron, the caliper serves as a housing for the brake pad and the caliper piston. It compresses pairs of brake pads against a disc or rotor. The ensuing friction puts your car’s wheels to a stop and outputs extreme heat. Disc brake systems are therefore designed to withstand very high temperatures. With that said, they wear out over time. Some parts fail earlier than others, so check every part aside from the brake caliper itself.

Should You Replace Brake Calipers?

The short answer is a resounding yes. Without a functional disc brake, your road safety risk shoots up to dangerously high levels. Make sure to know which specific part needs replacing. You could be dealing with multiple issues, such as a rusted caliper piston or worn-out piston seal. Also, a clogged caliper can lead to brake pad erosion, and ultimately, disc brake failure.
