Chevy Colorado Brake Calipers

When you step on the brake pedal, hydraulic fluid pressure activates the calipers. They compress a pair of pads against the discs, which create friction that slows down and eventually stops your vehicle. The importance of having the brakes regularly and properly serviced can't be stressed enough. And if you own a capable truck like the Chevy Colorado, which you subject to hauling and pulling big loads, making sure this system up to the task is all the more crucial. Calipers are extremely durable parts that can last for hundreds of thousands of miles but may need replacing sooner, especially if you live near the ocean.

During a brake job, caliper brackets and mounting points need to be cleaned from rust and lubed to ensure the pads move properly. The calipers should be inspected for leaks and the pistons should be checked for proper operation. A defective caliper may be the culprit behind uneven pad wear, noise, or the vehicle pulling to one side. If stuck, it may cause the brakes to stay engaged all the time. Our Chevy Colorado brake calipers are quality direct bolt-on replacements for the originals. All of the parts are pressure tested for leaks and inspected for safe and durable operation.
