OEM Volvo Brake Calipers

If your Volvo car or SUV features a disc brake system, it relies upon the brake calipers to help produce the resistance -- or friction -- needed to slow, and eventually stop, the rotation of your wheels. Therefore, if the calipers fail for any reason you need to replace them as quickly as possible if you want to continue stopping when -- and where -- you intend. Find everything you need right here in our online parts catalog, and at prices that are much lower than the MSRP. Order today!

Volvo Brake Calipers FAQs

How Do Volvo Brake Calipers Work?

You initiate the process when you press your foot against the brake pedal inside your cabin. That causes the master brake cylinder to direct hydraulic fluid to pistons at the brake calipers. The pressure forces your calipers to clamp brake pads down onto the brake rotors to generate the friction you need.

How Do I Spot Failing Brake Calipers?

Eventually, however, the brake pads can wear down. When that happens, the heat produced when you brake can cause the calipers' seals to decay -- allowing corrosion to set in and affect your braking capability. Signs of trouble include:

• The sound of grinding or squealing when you brake
• Your brake pedal feels softer than usual when you press on it
• Your Volvo pulls to one side when you brake
• The brake warning dashboard light comes on -- though this is a common alert that requires further investigation to determine the true issue

Why But Genuine Volvo Brake Calipers vs. Generic?

Your manufacturer makes the only brake calipers that are guaranteed to be compatible with your model, assuring you of a fit and performance you can trust. Generic calipers don’t, and can't, make that same claim -- nor do they measure up to the brand's strict quality standards.
