What Are They

Brake calipers are a component of the braking system of a car. They clamp down on the brake pads, which in turn press against the rotor to slow or stop rotation. They are usually visible, and many people like to paint brake calipers for their cars aesthetics. 

Brakes are one of the most important safety features on a vehicle and calipers play an integral role in their functionality. They are often made from steel or aluminum and work to clamp down on brake pads when they need to be replaced.

What Are Brake Calipers Used For

The job of the car part is to squeeze the brake pads against the rotor. It has two parts, a fixed part (which stays stationary) and a movable part (which slides along the fixed part). The movable part is called the piston. The piston pushes on the pads to create friction with the rotor, which slows down or stops rotation of wheels.

How Can You Diagnose A Fault 

Brake calipers are an important part of the brake system and they need to be replaced when they show signs of wear. This is because a worn out brake caliper can lead to a serious accident and it's not worth risking your safety for a few bucks. As they’re a vital part of the braking system, they need to be in good condition in order to work properly.

The signs of wear are:

1) If you see any rust or corrosion on your brake caliper then it might be time for replacement.

2) If you notice that it takes more pressure than usual to apply brakes then it might be time for replacement.
