Volvo 740 Brake Caliper

The Volvo 740 Brake Caliper changes hydraulic pressure into the clamping force that forces the pads onto the rotor to provide the sedan with sure braking force. Each Volvo in the 740 series has a caliper body which has one or more bores that receive pistons, seals, and dust boots and is fitted with a single fluid port to which the brake hose is connected. There are two types of construction which are applied in multiple years of production. Fixed units are rigidly attached to the joint and are operated by identical but opposite paired pistons to squeeze both pads simultaneously with equal force, which works optimally with a hard pedal feel but is more complicated. In the more common Volvo fitment, floating units, the piston or pistons are located inboard only. As you press the pedal, you have the piston pressing the inner pad and the whole Brake Caliper sliding on pins and drawing the outer pad to the disc. This sliding type is lighter but may become stuck due to rust or ripped boots allowing moisture to wash out grease, causing uneven pad wear, pulling, or dragging. Folding in a screw-fashion parking brake mechanism, which must be rewound with a special tool and new pads installed, may make the pedal low, and seized pins soon cause overheated rotors. Frequent examinations of every Brake Caliper to check for fluid leaks, broken boots, or corroded fasteners will ensure that Volvo braking is easy and foreseeable.
