Ford Brake Calipers

There are many different parts that make up the brake system on your Ford. The majority of modern vehicles have a disc brake system, which consists of parts like rotors, calipers, and pads. When you press down on the brake pedal, your calipers are pressed against your rotors to generate friction that helps to stop the vehicle. The brake pads are a buffer between these parts. Maintaining the brakes on your vehicle is vital to help ensure that you have a safe driving experience. There are a range of things you can look out for that might indicate wear and tear on your brake calipers. Metallic rubbing noises or loud squealing can be indicators that your calipers are wearing out, especially if they happen when you're coming to a stop. This can be caused by calipers freezing. If you're pulling to the side of the road when you're driving, this can also be a sign of something wrong with the calipers. When you're in need of a new set, be sure to get ones made for your make and model. You can find those here at Ford Parts America.
