Brake callipers play a vital role in many disc-brake systems, applying pressure to the pads to slow the vehicle. When they develop a problem, it's usually noticeable.
Common warning signs
- Uneven braking
- Unusual pad wear
- The vehicle pulling to one side
- Overheating around a wheel after driving
- A grinding or dragging sensation
Why calliper problems shouldn't be assumed to be pads
If we suspect a calliper problem, we'll inspect the braking system rather than simply assuming the pads are responsible, since replacing pads alone won't fix an underlying calliper fault.
