Genuine GM Brake Calipers

Brake calipers are required brake pieces for the full functionality of your disc braking system. They are triggered by hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal.

Brake Calipers and How They Work

The brake calipers of your GM are an assembly of different parts that work together in order to press your brake pads into the metallic cylinders known as rotor discs which are located behind your front, and sometimes rear wheels. The calipers are a clamping mechanism attached to the brake lines. These lines fill or pressurize with fluid when the brake pedal is pressed. When you need to slow or stop, the brake fluid sent to the caliper housing triggers a piston forward. This piston engages the brake pads with the surface of the rotor discs that spin with your wheels on the axle.

When friction from the brake pads cross the rotor surfaces, the momentum of your vehicle slows and eventually stops as long as the brake pedal is engaged. The calipers of your brake system tend to remain healthy up until 50,000 miles or so. Not all wear down at the same time, and if you ride the brakes hard throughout your travels, you may require new calipers sooner than later.

Should I Replace My Old Brake Calipers?

When your brake calipers begin to show signs of decline one may notice brake fluid leaks, excessive amounts of grime build-up on the calipers, or corrosion and malfunctions. Your brakes may squeak when stopping or grind against the rotor discs in an unusual way. If this occurs, seek new brake calipers ASAP before further damaging your car's brake system.
