Best Answer

A 'caliper' is the main body of the brake unit. ( it is NOT "on the tire") It carries the brake piston and mounts for the two disc pads. You may need new pads if they are worn , but unless your vehicle is quite old it's unlikely you need a new caliper. Get someone who knows about brakes to tell you.
