Brake calipers

What are brake calipers?

Brake calipers are a key element of the braking system, which directly affects driving safety. There is a mechanism in the calipers that presses the brake pads against the brake disc, generating the friction necessary to effectively stop the vehicle. High-quality regenerated calipers guarantee reliability and precision of operation, which is especially important in trucks that must safely transport large loads on long routes.

When is it necessary to replace brake calipers?

Replacing brake calipers is necessary in several cases that may affect the safety and efficiency of the braking system. First, if you notice that your vehicle begins to “pull” to one side when braking, it may be a sign that one of your calipers is not working properly. The cause may be a blocked piston in the caliper, which prevents the brake pads from pressing evenly against the disc.

Another symptom indicating the need to replace calipers is brake fluid leakage. The calipers contain seals that can wear out over time, leading to leaks and loss of pressure in the braking system. Falling pressure can significantly reduce braking effectiveness, which poses a serious safety risk.

Also, uneven brake pad wear may indicate a problem with the calipers. If one pad is wearing out faster than the other, it may suggest that the caliper is not pressing the pad evenly against the rotor, causing uneven loading and requiring replacement.

It is also worth paying attention to any disturbing sounds, such as squeaking or grinding when braking, which may indicate problems with the calipers. In such cases, especially if the sounds are persistent, it is recommended to check and possibly replace the clamps as soon as possible.

Replacing brake calipers is also necessary if they have been damaged as a result of a collision or other mechanical damage. Even if the damage seems superficial, it can affect the effectiveness of the caliper and therefore the entire braking system.
