Ram Chassis Cab Front Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement
Wear and tear on your brakes depends considerably on your driving habits and the type of brake pads your Ram Chassis Cab has, but frequently front brakes wear out before rear breaks at 30,000 - 60,000 miles because they are ordinarily under much less stress.
Ram Chassis Cab Rear Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement
Rear brake parts ordinarily wear out well after the front brakes due to the level of stress required to slow a car. Some rear brakes can last up to 50,0000 - 80,000 miles, but you should ask your Ram Chassis Cab service manual for suggested maintenance intervals for all components. Keep in mind you should repeatedly have your service department perform a multipoint inspection which includes inspecting your brake system.
What is involved in a Brake System Inspection? Checking Ram Chassis Cab Brake Parts & Brake Systems
At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT Denver, we offer a multi-point check with every service visit that includes accurately inspecting your Ram Chassis Cab brakes, brake pads, rotors, operation, belts, hoses and filters, among other items, not just your brake system. Our tremendously gifted mechanics will again look at the following when inspecting your brakes:
- Cylinders - check wheel cylinders & brake master cylinder for function
- Brake Fluid - Checking brake fluid levels, color and signs of obvious brake fluid leaks
- Brake Operation & Parts - such as Brake Pad Thickness & hardware for needless wear and tear
- Rotors / Brake Drums - determining if resurfacing or replacement is required
- Brake hoses - problems with the hoses, like cracking or clogs are immensely common and need to be checked consistently as they can wear over time
Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers
The Ram Chassis Cab brake system is comprised of the following key components:
- Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Ram Chassis Cab rotors to slow or stop your car.
- Rotors still called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are different 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 Chassis Cab
- Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Ram Chassis Cab 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 extremely crucial to keep Ram Chassis Cab brake pads fresh by replacing them as they endure quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Ram Chassis Cab maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
- Backing plate & return spring holds your Ram Chassis Cab braking system together so it can function properly.
- Heat Shield or dust shield helps limit grime buildup thereby lengthening the life of your brake system.
- Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
- 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 Chassis Cab.
- Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Ram Chassis Cab 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 Chassis Cab maintenance schedule for more information 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 uniformly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Generally, the more pistons in a caliper, the more uniformly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
Can I just replace brake pads and not rotors?
Yes, your Ram Chassis Cab rotors will usually last longer than your brake pads as long as you replace your pads before doing damage to your calipers or rotors. By not replacing your brake Ram Chassis Cab pads in a typical manner you can damage the other components.
