About Brake Caliper

On vehicles with rear disc brakes, the rear Brake Caliper is a unit which straddles the brake disc. This unit houses the brake pads, the piston that pushes the two pads onto the disc and on vehicles which use the pads for handbraking, the cable and pushrod mechanism for the handbrake. On some vehicles with rear disc brakes the handbrake has a separate drum, in the centre of the disc, with brake shoes.

The Transit Ford Brake Caliper Driverside Rear is positioned behind the wheel and straddles the brake disc,

When the foot brake is pressed the hydraulic system forces the fluid into the cylinder in the caliper which pushes the piston, which in turn pushes the brake pads onto the brake disc.Vehicles using the pads for the handbrake have a cable attached to the caliper which operates a pushrod inside the piston.

As the Transit Ford Brake Caliper Driverside Rear houses the cylinder for the piston that pushes the pad onto the brake disc it may be that the cylinder has been damaged causing leakage of hydraulic brake fluid or the seizing of the piston.

Ford Transit trivia

  • London’s Regent Park Zoo once transported two baby elephants in the back of a Ford Transit.
  • In Switzerland, the size of the Ford Transit means that by removing the tyres it’s possible to drive the van along Swiss train tracks. Engineers would drive along the tracks to where they needed to work, then take the van off the tracks to drive home.
  • As you’d expect, Ford puts new Transits through a huge number of tests. The latest generation Transit was driven for 11-million kilometres (which equals 275 times around the world) and was driven in arctic conditions as well as the desert environment of Death Valley.
  • The average life expectancy for a Ford Transit is around 250,000 miles!
  • In 1965 a group of students wanted to see how many people they could get into a first-generation Ford Transit. In the end, they managed to squeeze in 48 people.
