This Nissan Sentra Brake Caliper makes use of the master cylinder's hydraulic pressure. It generates a force that pushes the brake pads against the rotor. As a result, the Nissan Sentra slows down or stops. Each Brake Caliper is a clamp-like body with one or more bores to accommodate piston assemblies, seals, dust boots, bleeder screw, and port for the brake hose. Steel or phenolic material is employed for the production of pistons that mostly come with an original body made of cast iron. There are fixed and floating types. The Brake Caliper type dictates how the piston movement applies the pad pressure. While the fixed design remains stationary on its mount, the floating design has the pistons positioned on the inboard side. The caliper slides on pins so that inward piston travel pulls the Brake Caliper body to clamp the rotor. Thus, both sides of the rotor rely on opposing pistons. In some rear Brake Calipers, a screw mechanism is applied to mechanically apply the pads against the rotor for a parking brake function. A leaking, seized Brake Caliper piston or sticking slide pins on the Nissan Sentra can cause you to experience a low pedal, pulling, dragging, uneven pad wear, or noise.
