You may have put a ton of work into your Talon to make it accelerate like a bat out of Hades, but when you come up to the next stop light you'd better hope your Eagle brake caliper works as well as that turbo motor. If you're scratching your head wondering when the last time was that you even thought about your Eagle brake caliper, it's probably time for a little brake system maintenance. After all, your car is only as good as its brakes, and the Eagle brake caliper is the muscle behind the whole system. When you hit the pedal, you squeeze fluid out of the master cylinder, which then is piped to all four corners of your ride. At each of those four corners sits an Eagle brake caliper (or, on rear drum vehicles, an Eagle brake caliper is located at the front two corners). Each Eagle brake caliper receives the pressurized brake fluid and uses it to squeeze the brake rotor between the brake pads, bringing your car to a stop. If you've got a bad Eagle brake caliper, all sorts of unpleasant situations can arise. For example, you may hit the brakes and have your ride pull hard to one side if you have a binding Eagle brake caliper. A leaky Eagle brake caliper can contaminate your brake pads, possibly resulting in a locked up wheel at just the wrong time. Get the picture? A malfunctioning Eagle brake caliper is nothing to sneeze at, and fixing a bad Eagle brake caliper may just save your life, or at least your car. It's easy, too. If you're handy, you can rebuild your Eagle brake caliper yourself using a repair kit. Or trust the complex work to someone else and purchase a new or remanufactured Eagle brake caliper from a reputable source. After all, a new Eagle brake caliper isn't that expensive and it isn't that hard to install, so you have no excuse for driving with a bad Eagle brake caliper.
