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.
  • Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
  • Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to activate 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 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 immensely crucial to keep Dodge brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Dodge maintenance schedule for the advised mileage intervals.
  • 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.
  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Dodge braking system together so it can function perfectly.
  • Rotors again 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
  • 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 details on when your hoses should be replaced.
  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Dodge rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.

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 still acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can still 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 still 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 equally distribute pressure against the brake disc. Mainly, the more pistons in a caliper, the more equally the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

How much do new brake pads cost?

Dodge brake pads can cost anywhere between $150 per axle and $450 per axle depending on the type of brake pad needed. In some rare cases, they can be even more if the manufacturer requires a specific type of brake pad to be ordered for your Dodge. Contact Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise today at 2085100490 or schedule your brake service online.

Fresh brake fluid is something few people think about, even though it can seriously affect braking performance. Brake fluid should be changed regularly.
