At each of your wheels you will find Dodge Coronet brake calipers, which are essential parts of your vehicle’s braking system. Brake calipers are U-shaped devices that are attached to your vehicle’s frame, where they are the key to generating the friction your vehicle uses to bring your car to a complete and controlled stop. Your brake rotors, which are one-piece metal discs, spin in the channel of your Coronet brake calipers.

Brake pads that feature a thick frictional lining mounted on to a metal backing plate float on top of the calipers, one on each side of the U. When you engage your brakes, the pressure that is sent through the hydraulic brake fluid is transmitted to your Dodge Coronet brake calipers, which squeeze inward to bring your brake pads into simultaneous contact with the sides of your brake rotors.

The friction generated between these two parts stops the rotating motion of your wheels. It stands to reason, then, that if your Coronet brake calipers are not working properly, your brakes are not going to stop your vehicle. There are several possible reasons for caliper failure. If your brake rotors become damaged due to wear from worn brake pads, or metallic brake pads, they could begin to wobble in the channel of the calipers, which will bend and distort them. Another common reason for problems with your Dodge Coronet brake calipers occurs when you do not change your hydraulic brake fluid often enough. The moisture in the brake fluid will rust out the insides of your calipers, causing them to freeze. If you are having problems with your Coronet brake calipers, it is essential that you replace them right away.We have the calipers you need right here.
