If you are wondering what brings your Acura to a complete stop every time you hit the brakes, well, it is the Acura brake calipers on it. There are actually four brake calipers on your vehicle, one for each of the four wheels. Each contains a piston in a bore, together with a pair of brake pads.

When you step on the brake pedal, brake fluid is pushed up against the pistons in the brake calipers and the pistons in return push the brake pads, sandwiching the brake rotors between them. The force of the immobile brake caliper that squeezes the brake rotor is what brings your vehicle to a stop. In the braking process, the friction causes the brake calipers to generate so much heat. For this reason, the brake calipers are generally made from iron or steel for it to be able to absorb some of the heat and preventing the brake fluid from boiling.

In addition, the brake caliper has to be tremendously strong to withstand the huge forces generated as it tries to drag two tons of steel, plastic and rubber parts of the vehicle to a halt. So make sure you take care of each Acura brake caliper on your vehicle. Be on the lookout for fluid leakage. If the seals in your Acura brake caliper go bad they will allow brake fluid to escape from the brake caliper housing, resulting in poor pedal feel, pad contamination and other dangerous conditions. Also, do not wait for your pads to wear too low, since this can cause the brake caliper to get damaged. You have to take care of the brake calipers to keep an efficient braking system.
