Mopar Brake Calipers

Ever worked on your brakes before? You've probably inspected your brake calipers, then. They do that important job of clamping your brake pads and brake rotors together. The friction that results creates the resistance that ultimately slows and stops your vehicle.

How brake calipers work might seem complex, but it's actually pretty simple. Step on your brake pedal; your brake cylinder sends brake fluid through brake hoses and valves, pressurizing a set of brake pistons. These charge your calipers, and so on.

The process does create a lot of heat, though, and it can adversely affect any brake caliper over time. For example, it can decay a caliper's seals. As a result, contaminants can build up in the caliper. This often causes rust. Luckily, brake caliper problems are pretty easy to spot. Just keep an eye out for the following symptoms.

What are the Signs of Bad Brake Calipers?

• Brake or ABS system warning lights on the dash
• Irregular brake pressure
• Having to pump your brakes to get them to work
• Leaking brake fluid around your wheels or in your engine compartment
• Pulling sideways when braking
• Continuous grinding or squealing noises
