Brake Calipers

The disc brake system in your Acura car or SUV depends on a network of parts working together to slow your vehicle. The brake calipers are among the most crucial of them.

When you press your foot against the brake pedal, the master brake cylinder responds by sending hydraulic brake fluid through a series of brake lines and hoses. The pressure of the fluid forces your calipers to clamp brake pads to the brake rotors. That generates the friction you need to slow, and eventually stop, the rotation of your wheels.

However, the braking process produces heat. If the rotors can't disperse the heat properly, your calipers can be affected. If their seals decay, contaminants can collect and begin corroding the calipers. Fortunately, there are signs that your calipers are failing.

One is most obvious: the brake warning dash light comes on. Perhaps you're hearing grinding, scraping, or squealing noises. Another indicator is pulling sideways when you brake. If your brake pedal feels abnormally soft, or it takes longer to stop than usual, you'll want to inspect your braking system to determine what's wrong.
