The rear brake caliper is a critical safety component of the disc braking system. When hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder is applied, the caliper piston squeezes the brake pads against the rotor to slow and stop the vehicle. Over time, caliper seals can wear out, leading to fluid leaks, reduced braking pressure, or a seized piston that causes constant brake drag. Replacing calipers in pairs ensures balanced braking performance across both rear wheels. After installation, the brake system should be properly bled to remove any air from the hydraulic lines.
