Caliper. Caliper Holder Shaft Wear

Caliper Holder Shaft Wear

The caliper body must slide smoothly on the caliper holder shafts [A]. If the body does not slide smoothly, one pad will wear more than the other, pad wear will increase, and con­stant drag on the disc will raise brake and brake fluid tem­perature.

• Check to see if the caliper holder shafts are not badly worn or stepped, or rubber friction boot are not damaged.

• If the shafts and rubber friction boot are damaged, replace the rubber friction boot and the caliper holder.
