Hyundai Sonata Brake Calipers

Originally unveiled in 1985, the long-running Hyundai Sonata appeared in the United States in 1988, when this vehicle was in the second generation sketched by the pen of the well-known Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro. Several generations have passed since then, and the Sonata was getting more comfortable, quality, and stylish. The vehicle was equipped with rather powerful yet fuel-efficient engines such as a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 rated at 245 hp or a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter motor. Probably, the car is not so powerful as the Azera, but indeed, driving the Sonata can be demanding for the brake system, so make sure that all the brake components including the calipers are in top shape.

In a typical disc brake system, the calipers play a critical role – they squeeze the brake pads onto the rotors to perform the braking action. Calipers can be designed following two different schemes: floating calipers which can adapt their position while braking and fixed calipers, which are not that flexible but provide a stronger action. Calipers, however, tend to be less efficient when their inner surface gets rusty, to the extent that they can even get stuck on the rotors.
