Brake Calipers

Land Rover Brake Calipers 101

What They are; What They Do

They're the clamps that are critical to the disc brake system in your Land Rover working properly. They contact the system's brake rotors and rub against them, using a set of brake pads in between as a friction-generating surface. The resistance they produce, the SUV uses not only to slow down but also to come to a complete stop.

Signs They're Failing

Because no brake caliper is permanent, it can eventually go bad, wearing out and sooner or later failing, for instance, from a lifetime of use. Luckily, when that starts happening, there are a few symptoms of it that'll let you know. They include:

• Brake and ABS warnings lighting up on the dash
• Buildup and corrosion around the seals on the caliper
• Issues with brake pressure
• Leaking brake fluid, either in the wheel area, the engine compartment, or both
• Your vehicle starting to pull sideways when you brake
• Squealing sounds
• Continuous grinding

Notice any, and you should do an inspection, replacing any calipers that the results require. Before ordering anything new, though, be sure it's the genuine article.

Why Buy Genuine OEM Brake Calipers vs. Aftermarket?

Land Rover designs them specifically for its many SUVs. That's a compatibility guarantee from the brand, and one that not all off-brands offer.
