0986473410 Bosch Disc-Brake Caliper

This thing essentially squeezes the brake pads against the rotor – that’s the metal disc you see when you look at your wheels. Inside the caliper, you've got pistons that push those pads in when you hit the brake pedal. It converts the hydraulic pressure from your master cylinder into stopping power. It also has a few smaller jobs, like holding the brake pads in place and providing a mount for the brake hose. It’s a key part of your braking system, obviously. Think of it like this: your brake pedal sends a message—hydraulic pressure—and the caliper is one of the things that acts like a shield, grabbing onto the rotor to slow down and stop the vehicle. You've got one at each wheel, and they all work together. A lot of modern vehicles use what’s called a ‘sliding’ caliper, where the whole thing moves slightly to keep the pads aligned, but the basic principle is the same. Well, without a working caliper, you don't have effective brakes on that wheel. You’ll notice if a caliper is failing usually because of pulling to one side when you brake, squealing or grinding noises, or the car taking longer to stop. A stuck caliper can even cause the brake to drag, which can overheat things and wear out your pads and rotor quickly. You can find these pretty easily at places like Fixparts Online if you’re comfortable doing the work yourself, or any good auto parts store. It's a safety item, so it’s really important to keep it in good shape and address any problems right away. Backed by experts: Disc Brake Caliper (MPN 0986473410) comes with a 12-month warranty!
