A car that pulls to one side under braking, fluid around the caliper or uneven pad wear can mean a caliper is binding or leaking. A sticking slide pin, a collapsed brake hose or a worn rotor can be behind these signs too, so find the cause before buying a caliper. This listing is a single caliper, and the two front sides are normally replaced together.
