Key Features & Benefits

These screws basically hold parts of the brake caliper together – specifically, they secure the caliper bracket to the caliper itself. They’re designed to be tightened to a specific torque, so they’re not just about keeping things together, but keeping them together properly. They’re pretty straightforward, really. Think of your brake caliper like a clamp. It squeezes the brake rotor to slow the car down. This screw is one of the things holding that clamp securely in place. It’s a critical structural component within that system. It doesn’t do the braking, but if it fails, the caliper can’t function correctly, and that definitely impacts your ability to stop.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s important because, honestly, your brakes are the most important safety feature on your vehicle. These screws are small, and it’s easy to think of them as insignificant, but if one fails, the caliper can become loose. You’ll notice if a screw is going bad – usually you’ll hear a clicking or rattling sound coming from the wheel area, especially when you go over bumps, or you might feel a vibration when braking. Ignoring it can lead to bigger problems, like needing a new rotor or even a completely rebuilt caliper. You can find these screws on Fixparts Online if you need one quickly, and it’s a good idea to replace them whenever you’re doing brake work, just for peace of mind. They act like a shield, protecting the more expensive components around them.
