Lower Left Hand Front Brake Caliper and Pad Assembly
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Lower Left Hand Front Brake Caliper and Pad Assembly, also known as part number MK528061, is a vital component of a commercial truck's braking system. This assembly is responsible for applying pressure to the brake rotor, which slows down or stops the vehicle. The caliper itself is a metal housing that contains the brake pads and pistons. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure is sent to the caliper, causing the pistons to push the brake pads against the rotor. This friction creates the necessary force to slow down or stop the truck. It is important to regularly inspect and maintain the Lower Left Hand Front Brake Caliper and Pad Assembly to ensure proper functioning of the braking system. Worn or damaged brake pads can cause decreased stopping power and increased stopping distance, which can be dangerous on the road. Additionally, a malfunctioning caliper can cause uneven wear on the brake pads and rotor, leading to costly repairs. By keeping this assembly in good condition, drivers can ensure the safety and reliability of their commercial truck.
