- Part of your Nissan's brake system
- Creates friction on the rotors to help your car come to a stop
- Made from durable, tested materials
The disc braking system in your Nissan is made up of a few unique pieces that work together to help your car slow down or stop safely.
Every single component in the braking system should be in proper working order and alignment, including the Disc Brake Caliper Pins. These metal pins are located adjacent to the brake pistons on the calipers. They are also called guide pins, because they can help make sure that, when the brake pistons press the pads and rotors toward one another, they do so at the right angle.
If your Disc Brake Caliper Pins are worn, eroded, lacking sufficient lubrication, or incorrectly installed, they may disturb the entire braking system's meticulously aligned components. Sooner or later, damaged brake caliper pins could cause your brakes to stick or grind. If left unaddressed, excessive wear and tear from improper brake pad and rotor angles may lead to warping of other disc brake components. Ignoring even minor mishaps with a Disc Brake Caliper Pin could result in expensive repairs or irreversible damage within your Nissan brake system.
Early signals that something may be wrong with your Nissan's caliper pins can include: your car pulling to one side, a "spongy" brake pedal, changes in stopping distance or power, uneven wear to brake pads, and abnormal sounds when braking, like squealing or grinding. Some signs of a bad caliper pin can overlap with symptoms of other brake issues, therefore, it's a good idea to take your vehicle to a pro for advanced diagnostics and brake repairs.
If you think there could be a potential problem with one or more of your vehicle's Disc Brake Caliper Pins, stop by your local Nissan dealer's service department for guidance. When it's time to shop for a replacement Disc Brake Caliper Pin, be sure to purchase an exact replica that's designed to the exact specifications of your Nissan's brake assembly.
