Frequently Asked Questions

What is a brake calliper?

A calliper is a crucial clamping component in your disc braking system. It houses your brake pads and pistons, and it sits over the brake rotor like a heavy-duty clamp.

What does a brake calliper do?

When you hit the brake pedal, brake fluid is forced into the calliper. This creates hydraulic pressure that extends the pistons, pushing the brake pads against the spinning rotor to create the friction needed to stop your vehicle.

What are the signs of a bad brake calliper?

Common red flags for your brake calliper include your vehicle pulling to one side when braking, a soft or spongy brake pedal, leaking brake fluid around the wheels, uneven brake pad wear, and a constant grinding, squealing, or rubbing noise.

Can I drive with a faulty brake calliper?

No. Driving with a faulty calliper is extremely dangerous. It severely compromises your vehicle's stopping distance and can lead to complete brake failure, putting you, your passengers, and other road users at risk.

What's the difference between a fixed and floating brake calliper?

A fixed calliper does not move; it uses pistons on both sides of the rotor to apply pressure simultaneously. A floating (or sliding) calliper moves in and out relative to the rotor, using pistons on only the inboard side to squeeze the pads together.
