Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Dodge Challenger brake system is comprised of the following key components:

  • Heat Shield or dust shield helps impede grime buildup thereby lengthening the life of your brake system.
  • Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Dodge Challenger brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
  • Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car 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 different types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria find the best type of brake rotors for your Dodge Challenger
  • 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 crucial to keep Dodge Challenger brake pads fresh by replacing them as they endure quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Dodge Challenger maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
  • Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Dodge Challenger brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined repeatedly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Dodge Challenger maintenance schedule for more information on when your hoses should be replaced.
  • 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 Dodge Challenger.
  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Dodge Challenger braking system together so it can function accurately.
  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Dodge Challenger rotors to slow or stop your car.

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

How much does a brake job cost?

Resurfacing rotors is much cheaper than replacing them. Ask us about the chance of simply resurfacing your Dodge Challenger rotors rather than replacing them.

Brake pads for a Dodge Challenger can cost anywhere between $150 per axle and $450 per axle depending on the type of brake pad required.

Dodge Challenger Brake Fluid

Where does brake fluid come into the equation? The brake fluid or hydraulic fluid is responsible for moving the parts of your Dodge Challenger brake system. Brake fluid should be changed frequently. Ask your Dodge Challenger maintenance manual for advice on precise mileage intervals.
