What is a Brake Caliper?

Most of us may have heard of a caliper, but could we identify one? Here is an explanation…each time you step on the brakes of your vehicle, the calipers squeeze the brake pads against the rotors in the same way someone in a wheelchair might grab the wheels to slow down. A.J.’s Import Garage in Topeka, has technicians that know how to spot calipers that are going bad.

Some things the techs will look for are –

1.  Corrosion, dirt buildup, leaking, etc.

2.  Material which has worn away over time.

3.  Your vehicle will pull to one side.

4.  They listen for odd noises.
