The Chevy Impala Brake Caliper is not a whole lot different than that of a bicycle. It's one of the three main components that actually stop the vehicle. When you disassemble your brakes, what you see resembles a metal disk with a gray patch on it.

This is the rotor and the brake liner. A Chevy Impala Brake Caliper sits over either side of this covered disk, much like a pair of pincers. Looking on from the outer flat side, these calipers are connected to a shaft running out of a cylinder.

When you press down on the brake pedal, fluid inside this cylinder expands under a great deal of pressure. This forces the calipers to squeeze shut upon the brake rotor - which is what actually stops the vehicle. Now, when the gray lining - the brake liner - starts to wear out, you'll hear that obnoxious and embarrassing whining or squealing noise when you depress the brake pedal. This indicates that brake linings be replaced. If this is not done, eventually, it will wear down to the bare metal. This is a bad situation, because the calipers are now biting into the bare metal. This can cause major damage to both the brake rotor and the Chevy Impala Brake Caliper. You wouldn't allow it to happen, but maybe someone else before you has.
