The brake caliper piston is pushed outward by hydraulic pressure to press the brake pad against the disc. A seized or corroded piston causes uneven braking, pad drag, and overheating. Caliper piston seizure is common on vehicles that sit unused for long periods or in salty environments.
Caliper pistons seize when corrosion builds up between the piston and the caliper bore, or when the dust boot fails and allows moisture in.
Caliper pistons can sometimes be freed and the caliper refurbished. If the bore is severely pitted, the complete caliper must be replaced.
