Automotive Braking & Brake Pad Maintenance 101

Your vehicle relies on a hydraulic braking system to slow down and stop; it completes this job by creating energy at the master cylinder pump that is passed through hydraulic brake fluid and into the brake calipers that clamp the brake pads against the brake rotor disc with tremendous pressure. It is this powerful clamping action that creates the resistance necessary to stop a vehicle that weighs several thousand pounds.

The friction between the brake pads and rotors has one caveat when it comes to brake system maintenance - brake pads are designed to wear out incrementally to protect the system from damages. It is because of this intended design for brake pads to wear out that they will require replacement service when they do.

Replacing Your Brake Pads

Brake pad replacement service addresses the full set of brake pads on your vehicle including those at the front and rear locations. A skilled technician working in a certified Mopar service department begins service by removing the worn-out brake pads, inspects the full braking system to verify it is in excellent condition, and when verified, installs the new genuine OEM brake pads from our Mopar parts department.
