Brake Calipers Q&A

Q: What are They?

A: primary parts of disc brake systems. Brake pads attach to them, and they each have at least one brake piston, depending on the type of caliper.

Q: How Many Does a Honda Vehicle Have?

A: it depends on what model it is. Many of them have front calipers only, though some can have both front and rear calipers.

Q: What Do They Do?

A: contact brake rotors using the pads, generating the friction vehicles use to slow down and stop. (Drum brakes do the same thing with brake drums and brake shoes.)

Q: How Do They Work?

A: when you step on the brake pedal, the master brake cylinder activates, pressurizing brake fluid and sending it through brake hoses and lines; this forces the pistons to fasten them to the rotors.

Q: What are the Signs They're Going Bad?

A: there are many, including:

• Warning lights on the dash (for instance, brake or ABS lights)
• Buildup and corrosion around the seals
• Brake fluid leaking onto the wheels and/or into the engine compartment
• Unreliable brake pressure
• Pulling sideways when braking
• Squealing noises
• Continuous grinding

If you see any, do a complete brake caliper inspection and replace any that the results deem necessary. Before you order new ones, though, be sure that they're the genuine article.

Q: Why Buy Genuine OEM Brake Calipers?

A: Honda designs them to fit your model specifically. That assurance, you may not always get from the aftermarket.
