One of the main components of your Volkswagen Golf’s brake assembly is the Vokswagen Golf brake caliper. It is just like a small hydraulic clamp that grips the brake rotor and halts your vehicle. It has a U-shape with one or more pistons on both ends.

On its top are the brake pads and the rotor spins on the channel of its U. When you apply the brakes, fluid will flow from the master cylinder to the brake caliper where pistons are pushed inward.

The action of this device moves the pads against the spinning rotor where friction stops the vehicle. This device is stationary placed on the vehicle’s frame with the spinning rotor that results to hundreds of RPM, massive forces are absorbed by the caliper.

The pulling and twisting of this device contribute much to its deterioration that is why it has to be strong. Damages on this braking component can be observed through the leaking of brake fluid and sticking of pistons. When this happens, stopping of your vehicle would be somehow hard and you cannot think what will happen if you have a damaged unit.
