Disc Brakes -> AC-Delco Single Piston Rear Disc Brake -> Description
Vehicle: 2008 Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 GAS

This force acts equally against the piston and the bottom of the piston bore to move the piston outward and to slide the caliper inward resulting in a clamping action. This clamping action presses the linings against the rotor, creating friction to stop the vehicle.

On Grand Prix models, the caliper has a single piston, a...
