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 Clio Renault 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 Clio Renault 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.
Renault Clio trivia
- The 2007 Clio Sport Tourer was the first station wagon version, and it went through multiple design changes. The 2009 version received a five-star safety rating from NCAP.
- Released partway through 1991, there was still an impressive 21,123 Clios sold in the UK. The following year, after a full year of sales, 34,701 Clios were sold.
- The Clio III, which was the first of the third-generation models to be released, was the first of the supermini class to receive a 5-star EuroNCAP safety rating. It was also the first Clio to feature a card to start the car rather than a key.
- The Renault Clio is the first car to have won the European Car of the Year award twice, with the second win for the Clio III awarded in 2006.
- French footballer Thierry Henry was the face of Renault for two different Clios. The sports star was brought in for the ‘va va voom’ campaign to try and help market the Clio to men. A shift in buying demographics did happen, and the car became a lot more popular among male drivers.
