Made of durable iron components and connected to your brake lines leading to your brake pedal, the brake calipers work when hydraulic fluid is pressurized from the pedal. When you need to stop, the pedal engages and compresses a piston within the caliper assembly. This draws forth the brake pads, creating friction that pushes against the rotor discs. This action slows and eventually stops your car as long as the brake pedal is compressed.

Signs of Failing Brake Calipers

Your brake calipers can withstand 30,000 to 60,000 miles before requiring inspection or replacement. This timing could be more or less depending on your Ford model and how you ride your brakes. But one thing to keep in mind are the symptoms of bad calipers. Check for uneven brake pads or any score marks on the brake rotor plates. You may also notice screeching noises when stopping, or jerking to one side of the vehicle when braking. You may also see brake fluid leaks across the rotor plates behind the wheels.
