Why Brake Caliper Fails?
Every vehicle's braking system should be regularly checked and maintained. As a result of long-term use, brake calipers lose their former performance. Loss of old performance is the heat generated by friction. Brake calipers absorb the excess heat generated during braking, this heat destroys the seals over time and causes the calipers to deteriorate over time. Brake fluid leaks when gaskets are worn, caliper parts become dirty or rusty. Defective caliper parts, if not maintained, cause rapid wear of the brake pads.
What Are the Symptoms of Brake Caliper Failure?
- Squeaking noises during braking.
- Vehicle pulling to the right or left while braking.
- Brake fluid begins to leak.
- The pedal does not return to its original state after the brake pedal is pressed and released.
- It becomes difficult to slow down or stop the vehicle because the brake system is faulty.
How to Change Brake Caliper
- Brake calipers and brake pads are removed and replaced.
- Brake discs and brake line pipes are checked.
- Brake fluid is changed.
- The brake system is controlled against fluid leaks that may occur.
- The brake system is bled.
- The performance of the brake system is checked.
