Question
I was wondering how i could tell if i need new front Calipers. Is there anything i could look for or do i need to take them into a mechanic?

Answer
Hi James,

Do you mean brake pads or Calipers? Usually you will never have to change your calipers they out live the car for most cases. The only times we change calipers are if there are huge gashes or if one brake locks up on a regular basis, do you feel the car pulling to one direction to much while braking? What exactly is happening?

Thank you,
Daniel
