Top-quality brake calipers and brackets – durability and safety first
Choose original brake parts that guarantee maximum efficiency.
Brake calipers and retainers are fundamental components of the braking system, ensuring effective braking and vehicle control. Calipers allow the brake pads to press against the discs, generating the force needed for deceleration, while retainers ensure a stable mounting of these components. At Global Parts, you'll find a wide selection of used car parts , including brake calipers and retainers, ideal for BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini , and more .
What are the functions of brake calipers and holders ?
Brake calipers and brackets play a key role in the braking system: Brake Pad Pressing – Brake calipers use hydraulic pressure to press the pads against the discs, effectively reducing the vehicle’s speed. Ensuring stability – Brake calipers hold the calipers in the correct position, ensuring they work properly with the discs. Even braking – Thanks to precisely operating calipers and handles, the braking system works effectively and evenly, improving driving safety.
Compatibility Definitions and Examples
A brake caliper is a hydraulic component that converts brake fluid pressure into mechanical force acting on the brake pads. In practice, two main types of calipers are used: fixed and floating . Cars like the Audi A4 B8 and BMW E90 most commonly use floating calipers with one or two pistons. Sporty models, such as the Audi S4 B8, may feature fixed calipers with four pistons, which can shorten braking distances by up to 10–15%.
| Clamp type | Number of pistons | Sample models | Advantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Floating | 1–2 | Audi A3 8P, BMW E90 | Simple design, lower cost |
| Constant | 2–6 | Audi A4 B8, Mercedes C-Class | Better cooling, even pressure |
Why is it worth taking care of brake calipers and handles ?
Worn or damaged brake calipers and retainers can lead to reduced braking performance and an increased risk of accidents. Typical symptoms include: Noises when braking – Squeaks or grinding sounds may indicate damaged calipers or that they are not working properly. Uneven braking – Caliper problems can lead to uneven wear of the brake pads or discs. Brake fluid leaks – Damaged calipers can cause leaks, which lowers the pressure in the braking system and reduces its effectiveness. Caliper Sticking – Faulty calipers may not release the pads, leading to overheating of the discs and reduced braking efficiency. At Global Parts, we offer original used brake calipers and brackets that have undergone extensive quality testing, ensuring their durability and reliability.
Durability of brake calipers
Brake caliper durability depends primarily on the material and operating conditions . Aluminum calipers, for example, used in the Audi A4 B7, are lighter (on average 30% lighter than steel) and have better heat dissipation. In premium cars like the BMW E90, calipers made of cast iron are more resistant to thermal deformation and corrosion. Replacing or reconditioning a caliper involves cleaning, replacing seals, and replacing pistons, and takes an average of 1 to 2 hours per axle.
How to choose the right brake calipers and brackets ?
When choosing brake calipers and brackets, there are several key aspects to consider: Vehicle-specific fit – Every braking system has its own specific technical requirements. At Global Parts, you'll find brake calipers and brackets perfectly matched to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini , and more . Technical condition – Used clamps and handles should be free from corrosion, cracks and other mechanical damage. Brake System Type – Make sure the calipers you choose are compatible with the brake discs and pads on your vehicle.
Fit and Compatibility
To maintain full braking effectiveness, it's crucial to match the caliper to the disc diameter and brake pad thickness. For example, the Audi A3 8P uses 288 mm discs with single-piston calipers, while the Audi A4 B8 uses 320 mm discs with dual-piston calipers. Choosing the right mounting bracket is equally important, as it affects the angle and position of the caliper relative to the disc. It's worth noting that many VAG models (Audi, VW, Skoda) use the same mounting bolt spacing, which simplifies installation and replacement.
Why choose used brake calipers and brackets ?
Used car parts , such as brake calipers and retainers, are a practical solution that allows you to save money while maintaining high quality. By choosing used brake calipers and retainers, you benefit from: Lower costs – Used items are much cheaper than new ones, but offer just as high quality. Ecology – Recycling car parts supports environmental protection and reduces waste. A wide range – In our store you will find brake calipers and brackets for the most popular car brands.
Economic and ecological advantages
It is estimated that reusing brake calipers can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 4–6 kg per part compared to manufacturing new ones. Furthermore, customers who opt for original, used calipers, such as those in Audi A4 B7 or BMW E90 models, can save an average of 40–70% compared to new replacements. Importantly, used OEM calipers maintain their factory specifications, ensuring full compatibility with the vehicle's ABS and ESP systems.
How to take care of brake calipers and handles ?
To ensure that brake calipers and handles function reliably for a long time, it is worth following a few rules: Regularly check the condition of the calipers and brackets during technical inspections, especially if you notice noises when braking. Avoid driving with worn brake pads, which can damage calipers and discs. Change the brake fluid according to the manufacturer's recommendations to prevent corrosion of the internal components of the calipers. If you need a replacement, you'll find the right used car parts at Global Parts that will restore full functionality of your braking system.
Step-by-step maintenance procedure
- Wheel disassembly and visual inspection: check the piston surface and the condition of the rubber boots.
- Cleaning the guides and piston: use a special brake system cleaner.
- Lubrication of guides: use grease with high thermal resistance (up to 300°C).
- Checking the tightening torque of the bolts: e.g. in an Audi A3 8P the tightening torque of the caliper bolt is 35–40 Nm. Regular maintenance can extend the life of braking system components by up to 20–30%.
FAQ - Frequently asked questions about brake calipers and holders
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a brake caliper for? | This is a component of the braking system that, through the pressure of the brake fluid, presses the pads against the disc, causing the vehicle to stop. |
| What types of brake calipers are there? | We distinguish between fixed calipers (with several pistons) and floating calipers (with one piston and a movable guide). |
| What is the difference between the Audi A4 B8 and BMW E90 brake calipers? | The Audi A4 B8 often uses two-piston calipers that provide even pad pressure, while the BMW E90 uses lightweight aluminum structures for better cooling. |
| How to check brake caliper compatibility? | The easiest way is to match the OEM or VIN number of the vehicle – in the Global Parts catalogs you will find parts compatible with a specific model and year. |
| Are the clamps used safe? | Yes, provided they come from a reliable source and have passed quality control – at Global Parts, each clamp is tested for tightness and clamping force. |
| What are the symptoms of a damaged brake caliper? | Most common: the car pulling to one side, uneven pad wear or increased rolling resistance. |
| How much does brake caliper regeneration cost? | The average cost in Poland is approximately PLN 150–250 per unit, depending on the car model and caliper type. |
