About the piece:
The Rear Brake Caliper is an essential part of the braking system of Mazda vehicles. The caliper applies pressure to the brake pads on the brake disc to slow or stop the vehicle. It may also have an additional mechanism to activate the parking brake on some models.
His job:
- Brake pads press against the hub to generate the friction needed to stop the vehicle.
- Supports the operation of the handbrake in cars that rely on the rear caliper for this purpose.
- Contribute to the distribution of braking force between the front and rear wheels.
Symptoms of its damage:
- Brake fluid leaking near rear wheel.
- Poor rear brake response.
- Squeaking or grinding noises during braking.
- Uneven wear of brake pads, due to the caliper not sliding properly.
Additional note:
To maintain the performance of the brake system, it is recommended to check the Rear Brake Caliper periodically and replace it when necessary using genuine Mazda spare parts.
