Nissan Repair: 2001 Sentra Brake Calipers hung?, brake caliper, brake calipers


Question
Hi. Is there any warning, symptoms or signs that a front disk brake caliper could be "hung up?" I suspect my right front caliper may be hung up or not sliding correctly and, I would like to know if there are any warning signs a driver gets when this occurs. Thanks.

Answer
Rob,

Other than the experience of the brake hanging up there is no warning.  Once it hangs up it is a matter of correcting the problem or replacement of the caliper.  I would switch to Ford High Performance DOT 3 brake fluid to maintain a firm pedal feel too.  You can purchase it at the local Ford dealer, but you will have to ask for it specifically since most dealers do not know what they have.
