Frequently Asked Questions:
When to Replace Brake Calipers?
- Over time in normal driving conditions, the heat generated from the braking system can weaken and break down seals inside the calipers.
- They can become rusty, contaminated or dirty, and start to leak brake fluid if you don’t drive regularly.
However, you should have your brakes checked immediately if you experience any of the following:
- Your brakes are continuously squeaking, squealing or grinding
- Your brake or antilock braking system (ABS) warning light comes on
- Your car jerks or pulls to one side when braking
- You need to pump your brakes for them to work properly
- Your brake pedal feels unusually soft and spongy or hard
- You notice brake fluid leaks around the wheels or engine compartment
- If you notice any of these issues, contact us to schedule an appointment for our Brake Service & Repair.
Important Maintenance Points
- As the brake pads wear, the caliper needs to stay centered on the rotor to allow for even pressure on both sides.
- When brake service is done, always clean and grease the sliding mechanisms with a high-temp brake grease to preserve the full range of travel.
- Whenever possible, inspect the dust boots protecting the caliper piston and the two slide pins. These flexible covers prevent dirt and moisture from fouling the action of the associated parts. Any damage or tears found in the boots must be addressed quickly, before dirt and corrosion cause the parts to seize. It is possible to disassemble the caliper, clean the parts and replace the boots if you have some skill as a DIYer. Labor charges, however, make this impractical in most auto shop situations, so the most common resolution is full replacement of the caliper and bracket.
