Is your car pulling to one side? Notice a burning smell from your wheels? In this video, I break down the 5 most common causes of sticking brake calipers and why ignoring them puts your safety at risk.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
✅ How seized caliper slide pins create uneven braking pressure when their protective boots tear
✅ Why damaged piston boots and seals allow debris to infiltrate your caliper assembly, causing corrosion and sticking
✅The hidden danger of restricted brake hoses that prevent fluid from returning to the master cylinder
✅How accumulated dirt and debris act like sandpaper in your braking system
✅Why letting your vehicle sit for extended periods leads to caliper-seizing corrosion
I'll also explain how sticking calipers affect your driving experience:
❌Creating dangerous pulling to one side during braking
❌Drastically reducing fuel economy as your engine fights constant brake drag
❌Generating excessive heat that can warp rotors and boil brake fluid
❌Accelerating wear on pads and rotors, leading to costly repairs
