Brake Caliper Service at Suntrup Nissan

A brake caliper is a critical component of your Nissan’s disc brake system and is located in the vehicle’s front brakes. In short, the brake caliper houses your Nissan’s brake pads and pistons and is responsible for slowing the wheels by creating friction with the brake rotors. The brake caliper acts like a clamp by attaching to the front wheel’s rotor to prevent it from turning when you push the brakes. At Suntrup Nissan in St. Louis, MO, we offer a brake caliper service where we ensure that each brake component is acting correctly and can recommend replacement if rust or other contaminants are present.

What is Brake Rotor Resurfacing?

Whether you drive a Nissan Rogue, Altima, Kicks, Pathfinder, or Murano, the owner’s manual inside your vehicle will outline when the brake calipers need to be replaced. However, it is important to remember that this recommendation is based on ideal driving conditions and may not be easily replicated by every driver. With time, the brake calipers can become rusty, contaminated, and dirty because of the heat generated by the braking system that weakens the seals within each caliper. Cleaning and lubricating the brake calibers may result in the system not needing to be replaced, but you’ll want to let the professionals at Suntrup Nissan do the dirty work. If you notice any of the following, you should have your brakes checked immediately:

Squeaking, squealing or grinding from the brakes.

The ABS warning light is on.

Your vehicle jerks to one side when braking.

You have to pump the brakes continuously for them to stop the vehicle.

You notice a leak around the wheels or engine compartment, which may be brake fluid.
