The Best Nissan Brake Calipers

Your factory brake calipers are a crucial part of your Nissan vehicle's braking system. Without them, your vehicle's brakes wouldn't work right.

How Your Brake Calipers Work

The brake calipers are part of the disc brake system found on most modern Nissan models. When you apply pressure to the brake pedal, that tells the master brake cylinder to send brake fluid to the calipers. The pressure from that fluid forces the calipers to press the brake pads against the brake rotors. That produces the friction that's needed to slow your wheels. Apply enough pressure long enough, and you come to a complete stop.

How to Know When Your Brake Calipers are Failing

That friction creates a tremendous amount of heat, which can cause even the best brake calipers to fail. Here are some warning signs:

• Your brakes begin making odd noises
• The brake pedal feels soft or spongy
• You need to pump the brake pedal to get them to engage
• Your car or SUV pulls to one side when you brake

If you notice any of these, get your brakes checked. The seals in the calipers can weaken and break down, leading to them getting dirty, rusted, or contaminated. Yours might even be leaking brake fluid. If your brake calipers do need to be replaced, make sure to choose the best parts for the job.
