- Part of your Nissan's brake system
- Creates friction on the rotors to help your car come to a stop
- Made from durable, tested materials
Your Nissan's braking system contains multiple components that work together to help ensure your vehicle can stop safely.
Every single component involved in the braking process need to be in good condition and properly aligned, and that includes the Disc Brake Caliper Pins. These pins are beside the brake pistons on the calipers. They're commonly referred to as "guide pins," because they help ensure that, when the brake pistons squeeze the pads to the rotors, they move at the best possible angle.
If your Disc Brake Caliper Pins are worn, eroded, lacking sufficient lubrication, or improperly installed, they can potentially muddle the entire braking system's carefully aligned parts. Sooner or later, bad brake caliper pins may cause your Nissan's brakes to grind, stick, or make loud noises. If left unaddressed, excessive wear and tear from improper brake pad and rotor angles may lead to warping of other disc brake components. Ignoring even minor mishaps with one or more of your Disc Brake Caliper Pins could result in expensive repairs or irreversible damage to your vehicle's braking system.
Key warning signals that you might need to inspect your vehicle's Disc Brake Caliper Pins include: your car pulling to one side, a "spongy" brake pedal, diminished stopping power, uneven wear to brake pads, and noticeable brake noises, such as high-pitched squeals or grinding. Some signs of a caliper pin that needs replacing can be very similar to symptoms of other brake issues, so it's wise to have a professional inspect your brakes for advanced diagnostics and repair work.
