Front disc brake caliper drive side for Ford F150

Modern braking systems in cars typically are made of cast iron. Iron brake calipers are incredibly strong as they are required to resist high forces from rotation, high heat fluctuation from friction, and high pressure Instead hydraulics are used to translate the pressure of your foot against the brake pedal into a magnitude into the brake calipers. When braking, the caliper is subjected to the hydraulic pressure transmitted by the master cylinder and the reaction force of the brake pads on it. At the same time, the high temperature generated by the friction and heat of the brake pads will also repeatedly affect the calipers. Although the high temperature and pressure during the moving process will not damage the caliper, certain deformation will occur,  due to the existence of metal fatigue strength. The deformed caliper will cause its braking performance to decrease, and it is prone to a series of situations such as braking imbalance. Worn-out brake calipers may not function at their maximum efficiency resulting in poor braking performance. Installing new brake calipers will improve the overall performance of your vehicle, and they will provide a tighter and more secure squeeze on the brake pads, giving them more grip on the brake rotors.
