Calipers

Brake calipers work with the pads and discs in braking systems to create the friction needed to stop your car when you apply the pedal or hand brake. Each caliper works by applying pressure between the pads and discs that then slows the wheels. As calipers do not apply the stopping force themselves they do not wear out as quickly as other parts in a car's braking system. However, signs that calipers may need replacing are leaking brake fluid or if the car pulls to one side. If you do need to order replacement calipers just use our registration number-based search system to find calipers that will fit your make and model of car.
