OEM Mitsubishi Brake Calipers

Brake calipers are the clamping mechanism that are visible behind your wheels. They press the brake pads into the brake rotors which slow and eventually stop your car.

How do Brake Calipers Work?

Brake calipers are made of ductile iron and on some cars, aluminum alloys. The contain a piston that is connected to your brake pedals. When you press your brake pedal to slow or stop, brake fluid is sent down a line to the calipers. When they are charged, the calipers, which are attached to brake pads, engage with the rotors. This creates the friction used to slow and stop your vehicle.

When Should I Change My Brake Calipers?

Brake calipers tend to last up to ten years or between 80,000 and 100,000 miles on most vehicles. Since they are exposed to the weather elements and are close to the road, they do see normal wear and tear. However, drivers should keep an eye on their brake calipers when they begin to near the high mileage mark. Common signs of bad brake calipers are:

• Grinding or squealing noises when stopping
• Pulling to one side when slowing your car
• A soft or spongy brake pedal
