When your brakes feel uneven, a faulty brake caliper may be the reason. The caliper is the part that presses the brake pads against the rotor when you step on the brake pedal. It has to apply pressure evenly and release smoothly. When it does not, braking performance can change fast.

A sticking or failing brake caliper can cause your vehicle to pull to one side, cause one brake pad to wear faster than the other, or create a dragging feeling while driving.

Because the brake caliper is such an important part of the braking system, it is not something to ignore.

A caliper that does not move correctly can affect stopping distance, rotor wear, and the overall balance of your brakes. It can also put extra stress on surrounding brake components if the problem continues too long.
