Brake Calipers

You have to stop constantly when you're out and about driving on the road. The braking system in your Mazda is what is responsible for helping you bring your car to a safe and complete stop every time you step on the pedal. Most vehicles are equipped with disc braking systems that feature parts like brake pads, rotors, and calipers. The brake calipers are responsible for helping to press your brake pads against your rotors to slow down the rotation of the wheels. The calipers squeeze the brake pads so that they will generate friction alongside the rotors. This is necessary for bringing your car to a safe stop. It's important that you're paying attention to the condition of your calipers and the other parts of the braking system so that you can make replacements if needed. You don't want to ignore brake issues, as this can put you in danger on the road. The brake calipers can start to stick or freeze, which can cause noises coming from the braking system. Be sure that when you need new calipers, you're investing in OEM parts made for your car. Find them here at Mazda Parts HQ.
