The brake caliper is the hydraulic clamp that squeezes your brake pads against the rotor when you press the pedal. A seized, leaking, or sticking caliper causes uneven braking, premature pad wear on one side, pulling during stops, and can even overheat the rotor. At Clutch Auto Repair in North Spokane, we diagnose caliper issues accurately and replace them with quality rebuilt or new units.
Spokane's winter conditions are tough on calipers. Road salt, moisture, and temperature swings cause caliper slide pins to seize and piston seals to deteriorate. A sticking caliper may drag the pad against the rotor, creating excessive heat, a burning smell, and rapid wear. Left unchecked, a sticking caliper can warp the rotor and destroy the brake pads in a matter of weeks.
When we replace a caliper, we also install new pads and inspect the rotor for heat damage. The brake line or hose is checked for restrictions, and the system is bled to remove air. This comprehensive approach ensures balanced braking and long component life. Call (509) 487-0161 for a quote on caliper replacement.
