The brake caliper is one of the most essential devices in the braking system of a motor vehicle. Modern manufacturers are constantly modernizing this part, trying to increase the permissible speed limit for a car.

The main function of this device is to squeeze out the pistons, which in turn press the pads against the brake disc. This ensures that the vehicle is braked.

Depending on the location, there are:

1. Front caliper
2. Rear caliper

All problems with this spare part are associated with acidification of parts due to rupture of the boot, untimely change of brake fluid or improper maintenance. When any noise or vibration occurs while the vehicle is braking, it may indicate a malfunction of the braking system. A faulty brake pad pressure spring is usually the cause. Also, the fault may lie on the return spring if the sound comes from the side of the rear caliper.
