Troubleshooting a Defective Nissan Versa Brake Caliper
The brake calipers on your Nissan Versa are crucial part of the car's brake system. In fact, when these parts become defective, they can cause the premature wear of the brake pads. This can be troublesome if not addressed immediately. You may encounter several defects when hitting the brake pedal like pulling to one side or severe steering. In some instances, the car will turn sluggish and less responsive. If you start to notice these mentioned signs, then you had better perform some troubleshooting. Here are some common defects encountered with faulty Nissan Versa brake calipers and the reasons behind them.
Pulling to one side when hitting the brakes
You can easily diagnose a defective brake caliper by going for a test drive and engaging the brakes. Once the brake pedal is pressed, a faulty brake caliper is manifested through the auto pulling to one side. You see, this happens because one of the caliper pistons might be stuck in closed position, which then causes an imbalance of braking force every time you hit the brakes. Bleeding the brake system usually solves the problem. If not, then check for bad seals and find a replacement if you find them damaged.
Leaks in seals and connections
Leaking is another indication of a defective brake caliper. To check, simply remove the wheels and inspect the hydraulic line connections, the rotors' back side, and the bleed screw. A faulty caliper and caliper housing, especially one with cracks, will allow fluid to escape; therefore, you should also check the rotors' inside discs for signs of fluid. The piston seals are usually broken, but luckily, they are easily replaced.
Decrease in fuel efficiency and gas mileage
Since a defective brake caliper usually causes one of the piston calipers to stick, your vehicle will feel sluggish and less responsive while you drive. This is because the auto drives with one of the brakes constantly triggered, so there is a significant reduction in acceleration. Because of this, fuel efficiency and gas mileage will decrease over time.
Shaking and vibration
While most shakes and shudders are attributed to problematic wheel alignment or worn steering linkages, this shuddering can also be a result of stuck calipers. This is brought about by uneven rotor wear, which creates an uneven surface, causing the wheel to vibrate every time the brake pads pass over the rotor surface.
Keeping the brake calipers on your Nissan Versa in good, working condition is important to keep your auto's brake system in its optimum condition. In fact, regular maintenance on the caliper parts can help prevent early wear and tear. Luckily, for you, servicing the parts is not that complicated. If you have no idea how to go about the task, then here are a few tips and tricks to keep a Nissan Versa brake caliper in good shape:
Inspect brake calipers every six months.
Ideally, the brake calipers on your auto should be checked for damages at least once every six months or twice a year. When doing inspection, check for signs of leakages in the square cut seals located at the back of the casing. In addition, check for caliper leakage by simply running your fingers across the back of the brake calipers. They should be dry, otherwise, signs of wetness usually indicate brake fluid leakage. Another thing to look for is rust in the hydraulic area. If you find any signs of damages from the mentioned parts, then better start scouting for a replacement.
Spray the inside of the brake caliper with a brake cleaner spray.
For maintenance, it is a good idea to clean the insides of the brake caliper with a brake cleaner spray. Also make sure that you wipe away any signs of brake pad buildup around the cylinders to avoid early wear and tear.
Grease the brake caliper parts every time you service the brakes.
Every time you schedule brake maintenance, you should also find time to include the greasing of the caliper parts. Just look for a silicone-based lubricant and apply the grease on the pins and boots of the brake calipers. You may simply apply some of the grease on the pins with your fingers. For the boots, scooping some grease with a screwdriver should work. Just make sure that you lubricate the bottom of the boots too. This simple procedure can greatly help in making the braking system of your auto more functional and efficient. In fact, lubrication can even help extend the part's service life and prevent early corrosion.
