Hyundai Matrix Brake Calipers Available Here. Brake calipers are a key part of your car's braking system. They clamp the brake pads onto the discs to help slow down or stop the vehicle. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure kicks in and pushes the caliper pistons to squeeze the pads against the brake discs. The friction between the brake pads and the brake discs slows down or stops the car. You’ll usually come across two types of calipers: floating (or sliding) calipers, which move as needed, and fixed calipers that have pistons on both sides of the discs, providing better stopping power. Most calipers are made from cast iron or aluminium, with cast iron being tough and heat-resistant. Typically, you’ll want to replace brake calipers every 50,000 to 70,000 miles, but this can vary based on your driving style and the type of car you drive. If you’re looking for brands, Brembo is a popular choice for high-performance calipers, often found in sports cars thanks to their excellent heat dissipation. ATE is another well-established brand known for its reliable braking solutions. If you’re looking for something that balances quality and cost, Mintex is a great option. You can find some of the most common questions about brake calipers below. How do I know if my brake calipers need to be replaced? Typical signs of worn calipers include uneven brake pad wear, a spongy brake pedal, or unusual noises when braking. Can I replace just one brake caliper? Theoretically you can, but is better to replace calipers in pairs (front or rear) to maintain balanced braking performance. What happens if I ignore bad brake calipers? Not replacing worn calipers on time can lead to reduced braking efficiency and ultimately create a dangerous driving situation. Shop Brake Calipers Ireland
