What Causes the Brake Caliper to Rattle on Rough Roads?
1 Answers
The brake caliper rattling on rough roads can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Piston ring seizure: The piston ring in the brake caliper may be seized. If this is the case, the brake caliper needs to be replaced. 2. Metal plate deformation: The metal plate that fixes the brake pads in the brake caliper may be deformed. If this is the issue, the metal plate of the brake pads needs to be replaced. 3. Function: The brake caliper is an essential component of the braking system, primarily responsible for pushing the brake pads to create friction with the brake disc, thereby reducing speed or bringing the vehicle to a stop. 4. Working principle: When the brake pedal is pressed, the master cylinder generates thrust to push hydraulic fluid to the caliper. The piston inside the caliper moves under hydraulic pressure to push the brake pads.
