Brake Calipers

The brake calipers in your Mercedes are essential parts of the braking system. During braking, the calipers squeeze the brake pads against the surface of the rotor to slow or stop the vehicle through friction. The caliper is part of the brake pad and piston assembly that responds to the pressure of the driver's foot on the brake pedal. If your brake calipers are going bad, there are a range of symptoms that might start to occur. One thing that might start to happen is your car pulling to one side of the road. This can be caused by your calipers freezing up and causing problems with the pads coming into contact with the rotors. Brake calipers sticking or freezing up can also cause noises in the area that typically happen when your brakes are not in use. Another thing to check is the amount of wear you have on your brake pads. If it's uneven, it could be a sign of faulty calipers. Having brakes that function properly is important to maintaining your safety on the road.
