When it comes to selecting and replacing brake callipers, safety and performance are paramount.
Here are some signs that your brake calipers might need changing:
Reduced stopping power: If you notice that your vehicle is taking longer to stop than usual
Pulling to one side: Your brake caliper might be seized if the car pulls to one side while braking
A sticking caliper could cause the brake pads to wear unevenly
A stuck caliper could cause a grinding noise when braking
And last but certainly not least, damaged caliper seals can cause the vehicle to leak brake fluid which can be dangerous
We always recommends that if drivers notice any changes in the driving or handling of their cars, they seek the advice of an expert.
