What will my brake service include when I visit Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT Denver?

This can be a more complex question to answer. Since there are many parts to a brake system, there are different items that may be necessary for your service. Some vehicles may just need new brake pads, others may need a brake fluid flush, while some may need a resurfacing of rotors and new brake lines due to leaking brake fluid. Depending on the results of the multi-point examination, your Ram brake service may include:

• New Brake Rotors / Brake Drums Resurfaced
• Brake Rotor & Brake Caliper Alignment
• Brake pad Replacement
• New Brake Hoses/Brake Lines
• Brake Caliper Replacement
• Brake Master Cylinder Replacement
• Brake Fluid Flush & Brake Fluid Replacement

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Ram brake system is comprised of the following key components:

• Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Ram brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined consistently for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Ram maintenance schedule for more data on when your hoses should be replaced.
• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Ram brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Ram rotors to slow or stop your car.
• Backing plate & return spring holds your Ram braking system together so it can function properly.
• 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 exceedingly important to keep Ram brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Ram maintenance schedule for the suggested mileage intervals.
• Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby continuing the life of your brake system.
• Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
• 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 Ram
• 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.

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. Mainly, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

Ram Rear Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

Rear brake parts generally wear out well after the front brakes due to the level of stress needed to slow a vehicle. Some rear brakes can last up to 50,0000 - 80,000 miles, but you should consult your Ram service manual for advised maintenance intervals for all components. Keep in mind you should consistently have your service department perform a multipoint inspection which includes inspecting your brake system.

How much do new brake pads cost?

Ram 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 Ram. Contact Larry H.
