Chevy Impala Brake Calipers

Despite the fact that disc brakes were introduced in the early 1900s, they became popular just in the 1970s. Today, most cars are equipped with disc brakes, mounted in the front or on both the front and rear wheels. The function of a typical disc brake system is quite intuitive. The wheels are connected to metal discs or rotors. Calipers play the crucial role in creating the required friction to slow down or stop the vehicle by squeezing the brake pads onto the rotors. A top shape of the calipers, along with the other parts of the brake system, is mandatory for the safety of your Chevrolet Impala, whether you have a vintage model from the 1960s or brand new 2017 Premier model.

There are two main designs for calipers. They can be floating or fixed. The former can slide from side to side on pins inside the caliper bracket, and the latter is solidly mounted and offers better performance. But fixed calipers are more expensive. Brake fluid leaks, unusual noise in the brakes, and the car pulling to the left or right are common symptoms of a caliper malfunction. In such a case, don't hesitate to inspect your brakes and, if needed, replace faulty parts.
