Function of Your Kia Brake Calipers

Your calipers are an important part of your braking system. Their function is to house the pads and pistons of your brake assembly. The calipers hold the brake pads in position. The brake pads come into contact with your rotors when you apply your brake to slow your vehicle down. Calipers tighten around your rotor to produce friction between the pads and the rotor. This makes calipers an essential part of your braking system. It's always best to invest in OEM Kia brake calipers for optimum caliper functioning.

Keeping Your Brake Calipers In Great Condition

Over time, there are numerous services that you'll need to schedule for your calipers. Calipers will experience wear and tear. They can also malfunction due to debris and rust that accumulates on them. Calipers periodically require cleaning to remove this accumulated debris. Calipers are made up of numerous mechanical components that can require service. For example, you might eventually need to have the slide pins of your calipers replaced or serviced. The function of the slide pin is to force the pads against the rotors when the driver pushes on the brakes. Another caliper service that is periodically necessary is cleaning and lubricating the slide pins.
