Any vehicle that is equipped with a disc brake system has calipers. These calipers are a mechanical component essential when it comes to slowing a vehicle down and stopping a car. The caliper holds the brake pads in place. When a driver applies the brake pedal, the calipers press the brake pads into the rotors. Friction is then generated between the pads and the rotors so that the wheels revolve more slowly. As the calipers wear out, they can malfunction in numerous ways, such as when the caliper becomes stuck after the brake is applied. This detracts from a vehicle’s efficiency and safety, and quickly wears out the brake pads.
You don’t want to keep driving on bad calipers. It’s important to recognize when you need to have your calipers looked at by a mechanic. If you notice a clunking noise when you apply your brakes, you could be having caliper issues. Other signs of caliper malfunctions include a vehicle veering to the side when brakes are applied or a vehicle’s brake pads wearing out unusually quickly. If you notice any of these problems, it’s a good idea to take your car to Cutter Mazda Waipahu for a brake inspection.
