Chevrolet Astro Brake Calipers

Brake Caliperss in Chevrolet Astro vehicle is used as an important aspect of the braking system since it is responsible for converting hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder in mechanical force. This force act upon the brake pads forcing it to rub or press against the rotors to slow down or stop the car. Chevrolet Astro models utilize two primary types of brake calipers: They are of two main types namely; fixed and floating. The fixed ones have pistons on either side of the rotor whereas the floating ones have a piston on one side and slide to apply pressure which can result in problem such as uneven wear of the pads if not checked periodically. Common type of calipers are often cast iron material with pistons of finished steel or phenolic. Models that options range are from the economical single thrust, piston to lighter aluminum models to suit the required driving comfort and style. Often the brake caliper requires inspection and repair due to its leaking or uneven wearing so to ensure maximum result from the brake system, it is critical to have the brake caliper checked up regularly.
