If your Samurai or Sidekick is pulling to one side when you brake, you may have a problem with your Suzuki brake caliper. Don't worry-it's not uncommon to have a Suzuki brake caliper fail on a vehicle with more than 40,000 miles, nor is it particularly difficult to replace a Suzuki brake caliper. However, since the Suzuki brake caliper serves as one of the key components in your braking system, you will want to address the problem immediately. So what should you look for? First, it helps to have an idea of how the Suzuki brake caliper works, and how it affects your brakes. The Suzuki brake caliper receives hydraulic fluid from the master cylinder whenever you step on the brake pedal. That fluid pushes on a piston inside the Suzuki brake caliper, and that piston in turn pushes on the brake pads. The resulting friction between the Suzuki brake caliper, the pads, and the brake rotor, is what stops your car or SUV. If the piston inside the Suzuki brake caliper sticks or freezes in its bore, it can cause a variety of strange braking behavior including pulling, squealing, and wheel shimmy. The key is to replace the offending Suzuki brake caliper with a new or rebuilt Suzuki brake caliper from our extensive inventory, and then flush the entire hydraulic system. It sounds tough but it's not: The Suzuki brake caliper is held on by just a few bolts and is easily accessible when the wheel is removed. And flushing the system simply involves opening the bleeder screw on each Suzuki brake caliper and having a helper work the brake pedal. You'll be done in no time, and you'll get your brakes restored to full working order economically when you select one of our Suzuki brake caliper units.
