OEM Acura Brake Calipers
2002 Acura CL
What Brake Calipers Do for Your Acura
Brake calipers are an essential part of your Acura’s braking system. They clamp down on the brake pads, pressing them against the rotors to slow down or stop the vehicle. By converting hydraulic pressure into mechanical force, calipers ensure that your car responds efficiently when you apply the brakes. A malfunctioning caliper can lead to reduced braking power, affecting both safety and performance.
Why Brake Calipers Fail
Brake calipers can wear out over time due to regular use and exposure to harsh conditions. Overheating, caused by continuous braking or driving in stop-and-go traffic, can damage the caliper seals and cause fluid leaks. Additionally, corrosion from road salt, moisture, and debris can affect the caliper’s function. A stuck or seized caliper can lead to uneven braking, making it harder to control your vehicle safely.
When to Replace Your Brake Calipers
It’s important to inspect your brake calipers regularly, especially if you notice any issues with braking performance. If you hear squealing noises, feel vibrations, or experience a soft brake pedal, it could indicate caliper problems. Genuine Acura brake calipers offer a better fit and durability compared to cheaper, generic aftermarket options. For example, the Acura MDX and Acura TLX both benefit from using high-quality, OEM-caliber parts, ensuring reliable and safe braking performance.
