How many of you would know if you had a bad Dodge brake caliper? Lots of things can go wrong with your braking system, but different problems exhibit different symptoms. For example, did you know a leaking Dodge brake caliper can cause one wheel to lock up during moderate braking? You would expect the opposite result, but when a leaky Dodge brake caliper allows fluid to soak the brake pads, the pads themselves become 'sticky,' resulting in a locked wheel. A bad Dodge brake caliper can also cause your Ram or Cordoba to pull to one side, but not necessarily to the side with the bad Dodge brake caliper. What we're trying to emphasize here is that proper diagnosis is essential when you're working with your brake system, so make sure you are positive that you have a failing Dodge brake caliper-and if you do, that you know which Dodge brake caliper is causing the problem-prior to spending your hard-earned money on new parts. Speaking of parts, you can rebuild your own Dodge brake caliper if you're good with tools and you know how to keep things clean. For most of us, though, purchasing a new or remanufactured Dodge brake caliper is the smart way to go. You're ensured of the repair quality, and nearly every Dodge brake caliper on the market carries a substantial warranty. Of course, if you want to avoid all this in the first place, flushing your brake fluid every other year is the best way to make certain that every Dodge brake caliper on your car stays in good working condition. Good maintenance practices don't guarantee that a Dodge brake caliper will last forever, but they'll sure help.
