Brake Calipers is one of the vital systems of GMC Sonoma's brake mechanism, its operation sees the brake pad clamped on the rotor to cause scratching and hinderance hence stopping the car. These calipers come in two main types: On whether the degrees of freedom themselves are fixed or free, there can be fixed degrees of freedom and free, or floating, degrees of freedom. Depending on the design of the calipers, the clamping can be done from both sides of the disc which makes the device much more effective though not as forgiving to the imperfection of the material. In floating calipers, nowadays utilized in most vehicles, the calipers rotate parallel to the disc's axis of rotation, and the single piston displaces the inside brake pad which slides the caliper to apply pressure on both sides of the disc. Nevertheless, floating calipers stick due to several reasons; hence, resulting in lower fuel economy, over-heated discs, and worn pads unevenly. A breakdown of the brake system in GMC Sonoma vehicles can therefore result from leakage, damage on the boot, worn out hardware or any other defect of the following part; Brake Caliper.
