Brake Caliper / Holder [Support] for trucks

Brake caliper bracket is a metal component with holes for guide pins that is attached to the steering knuckle and ensures correct position of the brake pad and the disc relative to each other. It should be noted that repairing of front and rear brake caliper brackets may require different elements. Many manufacturers offer repair kits that are relatively inexpensive, and provide an opportunity to remove a problem without costly replacement of the entire assembly. They may include shims, guide pins, seals, dust boots and grease.

When is it the time to install the kit

Service life of the component is not limited; it largely depends on the driving style and on intensity of truck operation. Elements of the braking system may fail due to high loads, therefore, they should be regularly checked at a service station at least every six months.

Main failures include mechanical damage, defects of holes, corrosion marks, jamming of moving parts. The signs that indicate the need for urgent maintenance include noise, abrupt bumps when braking, rapid brake pad wear, vibration in the brake pedal when pressed, and deteriorated truck stability during deceleration.
