Mazda Brake Calipers

Brake calipers for your Mazda are essential pieces for your brake system. They function like clamps, and they help slow and stop your vehicle. Here's how they work and what to look out for when you feel that they may be going bad.

Brake calipers are visible behind your wheels, as they are the clamps that press your brake pads into the rotor disc. When you press your brake pedal, brake fluid is transferred down a series of lines and into the caliper. Here, a piston within the caliper is pressurized. This moves the brake pads forward into the rotors which creates friction to stop.

Since the calipers are exposed to the weather and highway elements, over time they can see their share of corrosion or normal wear and tear. Symptoms in a bad brake caliper are:

• Grinding or screeching when braking
• Gouged or scorn rotor discs
• Uneven brake pad wear
• Pulling to one side when braking
• Vibrations in brake pedal
