Hydraulic forces power our huge earth-moving machines, lift your car at the service station, and also drag your 240D down to a stop courtesy of the hydraulic Volvo brake caliper. The speeds at which our vehicles travel nowadays are really courtesy of the Volvo brake caliper as much as the engines-after all, horsepower is useless if you can't safely stop. The dual-circuit hydraulic system and high-strength metals used in the Volvo brake caliper allow your car to retain confident, fade-free brakes even at high rates of speed. In particular, the Volvo brake caliper forms the meat of your brakes, since it's the actual component that puts the squeeze on your brake rotors. The Volvo brake caliper holds the pads in place as well, and is responsible for bleeding off excess heat, dust, and gasses. In other words, the Volvo brake caliper works in a pretty hostile environment. Over time, ozone in the air and moisture in the brake fluid tends to rot out the seals inside the Volvo brake caliper, causing leaks and contamination. If the fluid can't be contained inside the Volvo brake caliper, the proper amount of brake pressure can't be applied to the pads, and you get uneven brake action. We've made it easy to fix a bad Volvo brake caliper, though: Simply replace it with one of our remanufactured Volvo brake caliper assemblies. You get your new Volvo brake caliper quickly and inexpensively thanks to our fast shipping and everyday low prices, and installation is a snap, so you can get back to what you want to be doing.
