Your brake caliper is sticking, leaking, or seized and needs service — the caliper is what squeezes the pads against the rotor to stop your car. A failing caliper can cause uneven braking, pulling to one side, or overheating of one wheel. Repairing or replacing it restores safe, balanced braking on every wheel.
Find a TechnicianA sticking caliper can cause uneven braking, overheating, premature pad and rotor wear, and pulling to one side. It's a safety issue and should be repaired promptly.
Pulling to one side often means one caliper is sticking or not applying even pressure. A mechanic can inspect both calipers and restore balanced braking.
In some cases a caliper can be rebuilt with new seals and pistons, but replacement is often more reliable and cost-effective. Your mechanic will recommend the best option for your vehicle.
