The Iveco Daily is a heavyweight van, as you may test it and we are not talking about the fall by an old cart. The transfer van is extremely robust and long-lasting. However, the same as all vehicles, the parts may wear out over time as a result of daily use. One part that you may have to swap out is the caliper.
For the van braking system, the caliper is a vital part. It is vital for helping the van stop whenever you hit the brake pedal. The brake caliper presses the brake pads against the wheel when the brake pedal is pressed. By doing this creates friction that will slow them down and stops the van in the end. When we apply brakes, the caliper pushes the pads, which grip the rotor to do their job, If the caliper finely doesn't work or it's broken, the brakes can't do their job very well, which is dangerous.
Replacing a caliper horizon in place may look a tit bit challenging and scary but if one heals on the provisions and years Goossens it definitely doable. We have here a really simple step-by-step guide to assist you through the process:
Improved Heat Dispersion: Upgraded calipers are typically built to deal with heat better. This also helps to combat brake fade, where the brakes begin losing their effectiveness due to heat soak. The end result is better heat management, which can increase the overall lifespan of the braking system.
So if you notice any of these signs while driving, the most important thing to do is to get your vehicle in to see a qualified mechanic as soon as possible in order to keep you safe— and, of course, keep your vehicle running smoothly.
Material: Choose a caliper that is made with high quality materials. It also should have been checked for safety and performance. Higher quality means it will perform better and last longer.
Calipers are available in different price categories. You should consider shopping around and finding some different sellers that you can compare prices with and see if you can find a decent enough part in your price range!
