How much does a Ram Promaster Brake Flush cost?
Proper car inspections and basic maintenance like a brake flush can limit you from having to deal with pricey repairs in the future. Bring your Ram Promaster to our store to ensure your brake system is operating accurately. We can check your brake pads, fluid levels, rotors, calipers, brackets and everything in your brake system.
Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers
The Ram Promaster brake system is comprised of the following key components:
- Heat Shield or dust shield helps limit grime buildup thereby continuing the life of your brake system.
- Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Ram Promaster brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined invariably for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Ram Promaster maintenance schedule for more advice on when your hoses should be replaced.
- Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Ram Promaster rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
- Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Ram Promaster brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
- 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 exceptionally vital to keep Ram Promaster brake pads fresh by replacing them as they go through quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Ram Promaster maintenance schedule for the suggested mileage intervals.
- Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
- Rotors still 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
- Backing plate & return spring holds your Ram Promaster braking system together so it can function correctly.
- 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 Ram Promaster.
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 equally distribute pressure against the brake disc. Usually, the more pistons in a caliper, the more equally the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
Ram Promaster Brake Fluid
Where does brake fluid come into the equation? The brake fluid or hydraulic fluid is responsible for moving the components of your Ram Promaster brake system. Brake fluid should be changed often. Ask your Ram Promaster maintenance manual for details on exact mileage intervals. Fresh brake fluid is something few people think about, even though it can seriously affect braking performance.You can even schedule your appointment online.
