Dodge Front Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement
Wear and tear on your brakes depends highly on your driving habits and the type of brake pads your Dodge has, but frequently front brakes wear out before rear breaks at 30,000 - 60,000 miles because they are ordinarily under much less stress.
Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers
The Dodge brake system is comprised of the following key components:
- Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby lengthening the life of your brake system.
- Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to initiate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to initiate the parking brake of your Dodge.
- Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Dodge rotors to slow or stop your car.
- Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Dodge brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
- Brake pads or shoes are the parts that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's remarkably important to keep Dodge brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Dodge maintenance schedule for the suggested mileage intervals.
- Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
- Rotors likewise called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are several types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let find the best type of brake rotors for your Dodge
- Backing plate & return spring holds your Dodge braking system together so it can function correctly.
- Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Dodge brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined constantly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Dodge maintenance schedule for more facts on when your hoses should be replaced.
Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which again acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can again cause damage to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start distorting them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate again protects the brake caliper from disproportionate heat buildup.
Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will evenly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Mostly, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
Dodge Brake Fluid
Where does brake fluid come into the equation? The brake fluid or hydraulic fluid is responsible for moving the parts of your Dodge brake system. Brake fluid should be changed usually. Ask your Dodge maintenance manual for data on exact mileage intervals. Fresh brake fluid is something few people think about, even though it can seriously affect braking performance.For any brake related questions or concerns, reach out to our Dodge experts at Larry H.
