BDA916 TRW Bracket, brake caliper

This part basically holds the brake caliper – the thing that squeezes the brake pads against the rotor to actually stop the car. It’s a bracket, a strong metal piece, that the caliper slides onto and bolts to the steering knuckle or hub assembly. It provides a secure and stable mounting point, and has built – in features to guide the caliper as it moves when you press the brake pedal. Some also incorporate the parking brake mechanism. Think of it as a key support member of your braking system. It doesn’t directly do the stopping, but it’s absolutely essential for the caliper to function correctly. It ensures the caliper is positioned precisely over the rotor and can apply even pressure. It’s a part of what allows the whole braking force to be transferred effectively. If this carrier is damaged or corroded, the caliper won't be held securely. You'll likely feel vibrations when braking, or you might experience uneven braking – the car pulling to one side. A severely damaged carrier can even cause the caliper to seize or come loose, which is obviously a huge safety issue. It acts like a shield, protecting other important brake components. You’ll notice if one goes bad, usually through noises or a pulsation when you’re trying to stop. If you’re doing a brake job anyway, it’s smart to inspect these. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and it's often a good idea to replace them when you're doing pads and rotors, especially on older vehicles.
