Jaguar and Land Rover Brake Calipers

All About Land Rover and Jaguar Brake Calipers

Your Land Rover or Jaguar vehicle's disc brake system depends on three major parts to slow the rotation of your wheels, and your brake calipers are one of those. They control most of the action involved in braking, so they're crucial to your safe operation.

How Do Brake Calipers Work?

When your foot presses against the brake pedal, the master brake cylinder sends hydraulic brake fluid to your calipers. The building pressure forces the calipers to clamp brake pads onto your brake rotors. That produces the resistance that slows and stops your premium car or SUV. Since the calipers and rotors are both made of metal, the brake pads cushion the friction and prevent those parts from damaging each other.

How Do You Spot Brake Caliper Problems?

The heat from the braking process, if not dispersed properly, can cause the caliper seals to deteriorate. That in turn allows contaminants to collect and lead to corrosion, which impairs your ability to safely stop.

Fortunately, signs of failure are obvious. They include:

• A grinding or squealing sound when you brake
• Your brake pedal feels softer underfoot than usual
• Your vehicle pulls to one side when you brake
• Your brake warning dash light comes on
