Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers
The Ram Promaster Cargo Van brake system is comprised of the following key components:
- 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 extremely critical to keep Ram Promaster Cargo Van brake pads fresh by replacing them as they go through quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Ram Promaster Cargo Van maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
- Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
- Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby continuing the life of your brake system.
- Rotors also called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are various 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 Ram Promaster Cargo Van
- Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Ram Promaster Cargo Van rotors to slow or stop your car.
- Backing plate & return spring holds your Ram Promaster Cargo Van braking system together so it can function properly.
- 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 Ram Promaster Cargo Van.
- Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Ram Promaster Cargo Van 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 Ram Promaster Cargo Van brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined regularly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Ram Promaster Cargo Van maintenance schedule for more details 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 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. Often, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
How often do brake rotors need to be replaced?
Ram Promaster Cargo Van rotors should be replaced by 70,000 miles but may wear out faster depending on your driving habits and a host of other factors. Usually you will need to replace rotors in pairs starting with the front axle of your Ram Promaster Cargo Van as they tend to wear out quicker. Schedule an appointment online with Larry H.
