What happens when a brake caliper freezes?

Brake calipers are located in a very dirty area of your car and are subjected to years of abuse at the hands of road dirt, water and salt ( and as a result of your ‘sporty’ driving technique!). Eventually the piston can corrode and the brake caliper will seize (aka ‘freeze’) and when you release the brake the brake fails to release.

What does the square profile seal on a brake caliper do?

The square profile seal is a very simple, but very clever, part of the caliper. On a correctly functioning brake caliper, when brake pressure is applied and the piston is pushed outwards towards the brake disk (squeezing the disk in between the pads) the square profile seal deforms.

What happens if only one brake caliper is sticking?

If only one brake caliper is sticking, this may cause your vehicle to pull to one side, squeal, or make rubbing noises when braking. If enough brake fluid leaks from the piston seal, your brakes may stop working entirely. If you need a new brake caliper, or other brake components, visit O’Reilly Parts.
