- 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 consists of multiple pieces that come together to help your car slow down or stop on a dime.
Even the smallest of pieces in the braking system must be in good condition and properly aligned, including the Disc Brake Caliper Pins. These metal pins are beside the brake piston on each of your 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 are angled correctly.
Whenever your vehicle's Disc Brake Caliper Pins are worn, rusty, poorly lubricated, or improperly installed, they might muddle the entire braking system's meticulously aligned components. Over time, damaged brake caliper pins could cause your Nissan's brakes to grind and warp. If gone untreated, excessive wear and tear from misalignment in your brake pads and rotors can lead to warping of adjacent braking parts. Brushing off even minor mishaps with your Disc Brake Caliper Pins may ultimately lead to costly repairs or long-term damage within your vehicle's braking system.
Early signals that you may have a problem with your Nissan's caliper pins can include: steering that feels like it pulls to one side, a spongy or soft brake pedal, changes in stopping distance or power, uneven wear to brake pads, and abnormal brake sounds, such as squealing or grinding. The symptoms of a caliper pin that needs replacing can overlap with those of other braking system problems, therefore, a professional inspection is typically a necessity for in-depth diagnostic services and brake repairs.
If you think there could be something wrong with one of your Disc Brake Caliper Pins, stop by your neighborhood Nissan service center for expert advice. When it's time to purchase a replacement Disc Brake Caliper Pin, be sure to purchase an OEM part designed to the exact specifications of your Nissan's brake assembly.
