What car brake calipers do:
Car brake calipers are responsible for applying pressure to the brake pads, which then press against the rotor to slow or stop the vehicle. There are two main types of brake calipers - floating calipers and fixed calipers. Floating calipers have one piston on one side of the rotor, while fixed calipers have pistons on both sides of the rotor.
When and how often to replace car brake calipers:
The lifespan of car brake calipers can vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle, driving conditions, and other factors. In general, brake calipers can last anywhere from 50,000 to 75,000 miles or more. However, it's important to have your brake calipers inspected regularly as part of your routine brake maintenance.

If you're not experienced with working on brakes, it's best to have a mechanic perform this task.
Why buy OEM car brake calipers vs. aftermarket:
OEM (original equipment manufacturer) car brake calipers are made by the same company that made your car and are designed to meet the specific requirements of your vehicle. They are generally considered to be of higher quality and are more likely to fit properly than aftermarket calipers. Additionally, OEM calipers often come with a warranty, which can provide added peace of mind. While aftermarket calipers may be cheaper, they may not provide the same level of performance or durability.
