Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Dodge Hornet brake system is comprised of the following key components:

• Backing plate & return spring holds your Dodge Hornet braking system together so it can function perfectly.
• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Dodge Hornet rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
• Brake pads or shoes are the components that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's immensely critical to keep Dodge Hornet brake pads fresh by replacing them as they endure quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Dodge Hornet maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
• Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Dodge Hornet brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
• Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Dodge Hornet brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined repeatedly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Dodge Hornet maintenance schedule for more information on when your hoses should be replaced.
• Rotors still called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are many 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 Hornet
• Heat Shield or dust shield helps impede grime buildup thereby extending 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 Hornet.

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 also acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can also 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 also 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. Generally, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

What are the signs and symptoms of bad Dodge Hornet brake rotors or pads?

Just like there are common brake issues, there are very apparent signs that can signify the cause of a brake problem. Warning signs include a shaky steering wheel, trouble stopping or a loud metal scraping sound are all indicators that you need to check your Dodge Hornet brakes. Yet, there are multiple other, and less clear, indicators that your Dodge Hornet brakes may be showing which you don’t want to ignore.
