Imagine noticing unusual sounds when braking or feeling that the pedal has become stiff and less responsive. Often, the issue lies with the brake calipers, which can become dirty and seize over time. Brake Caliper Restoration helps restore their mobility and proper function without the need for a complete replacement. We only replace worn-out parts inside the caliper, clean it, and prepare it for further service, ensuring your car brakes confidently and safely again.
When Should You Check Your Brake Calipers?
- brakes squeak when pressing the pedal
- the car pulls to one side when braking
- the brake pedal has become stiff or too soft
- there is a burning smell after driving
- the brake pedal travel has increased
- delayed brake response
- brake pads wear unevenly
- there is vibration when braking
What Does Caliper Service Include?
- removal of brake calipers from the vehicle
- inspection of internal components
- cleaning calipers of dirt and rust using abrasive materials
- treatment and protection of metal parts (zinc coating)
- replacement of worn moving elements inside the caliper
- reinstalling calipers and checking their operation
Additional Information About the Service
Brake calipers are a crucial part of the braking system, responsible for pressing the pads against the discs and ensuring reliable braking. Over time, due to moisture, dirt, and temperature fluctuations, moving parts can seize, reducing brake efficiency and causing wear to other components. In such cases, we offer quality Brake Caliper Restoration, which helps extend their lifespan without a complete replacement.
Diagnosis and Preparation
The first step we take is to carefully remove the calipers and thoroughly inspect their condition. We pay special attention to moving parts: pistons, guides, and dust boots. If we see dirt or signs of corrosion, we proceed to clean them using specialized abrasive materials. This preparation is essential to restore smooth operation and prevent further issues.
Repair and Treatment
During the repair process, we only replace worn internal elements that affect the caliper's mobility. The caliper body typically does not wear out, so there is no need to replace it entirely. We also treat metal parts with a zinc coating to protect them from rust and extend their lifespan. This approach allows us to restore the caliper's characteristics to near-new condition.
Reassembly and Operation Check
After the repair, we carefully reassemble the calipers and reinstall them on the vehicle. We always check how they perform during braking to ensure reliability and safety. We recommend regularly inspecting the calipers, especially after replacing brake pads or discs - this helps avoid serious breakdowns and keeps the brakes in excellent condition.
