Gejala di atas menunjukkan angkup brek tersekat atau rosak. Tetapi apakah yang menyebabkan kaliper brek melekat di bawah keadaan ini?
△caliper slide
The brake caliper has grooves that hold the brake pads. When the driver depresses the brake pedal, the brake pads slide in, and when the driver releases the brakes, they slide out. If the brake pads stick in the grooves, the driver may experience parking difficulties. Brake pads can get stuck with debris, but if cleaning the grooves doesn't fix the problem, the grooves themselves may wear out. If this is the case, the caliper may need to be replaced completely.
△bolt caliper
Baut caliper juga tergelincir. Slaid mempunyai but getah untuk pelinciran yang baik. Walau bagaimanapun, kadangkala but getah akan koyak, menyebabkan bolt menjadi kering. Jika ini berlaku, brek mungkin melekat. Minta juruteknik berlesen melihat pemasangan brek untuk menentukan sama ada bolt perlu diperbaharui atau diganti.
△caliper piston
Omboh caliper mungkin penyebabnya. Seperti bolt, terdapat lengan getah di sekeliling omboh angkup untuk melindungi dan melincirkannya. Jika but getah koyak, karat dan serpihan lain perlahan-lahan akan terkumpul di dalam omboh. Dalam kes ini, kaliper brek mungkin melekat. Jika ini masalahnya, keseluruhan pemasangan caliper mungkin perlu diganti.
△brake hose
Occasionally, a vehicle's brake hose can wear out. If this happens, the brake fluid may only flow one way, causing the brake pads to slow the vehicle down. However, when the driver does not apply the brakes, the fluid cannot flow in the reverse direction, causing the calipers to seize. This problem is difficult to diagnose, but an experienced professional should be able to isolate a problem with the brake caliper.
