Why Do Caliper Pistons Not Synchronize?

[MacLincoln]

Caliper pistons not synchronizing is not without reason. Working Principle of Caliper Pistons: Currently, small vehicles use hydraulic braking systems. The basic principle is that when the driver presses the brake pedal, pressure is applied to the brake fluid in the master cylinder. The fluid then transmits this pressure through the lines to the pistons in each wheel's brake caliper. The pistons drive the brake calipers to clamp the brake disc, generating significant friction to slow the vehicle down. Piston Factors: One piston may get stuck between the piston and the seal ring, preventing it from compensating for outward movement as the brake pads wear. When the brake pads wear, the piston protrudes outward, causing a stuck condition and rendering it inoperable. Human Factors: Failure to regularly clean the dirt on the pistons allows this dirt to be carried between the seal ring and the piston. Over time, one piston will always have a greater range of movement than the other because the pressure tends to shift to the piston with less resistance, resulting in a lack of synchronization.
