2017 Ram 1500 Brake Specials: Specs & Service

These symptoms can involve pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, hardware, or fluid. A brake inspection at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Avondale evaluates the system together rather than focusing on one part alone.

• Squealing or scraping during braking
• Pulsing or a soft brake pedal
• A warning light or dark-looking fluid

This assessment covers all four corners so the technician can compare wear across the vehicle. It helps identify whether the next step involves pads, rotors, fluid, or another brake-system component.

• Pad-material measurement at all four corners
• Rotor-thickness and runout measurement
• Caliper, hose, hardware, and fluid inspection

If the rotors meet specifications and remain suitable for service, pads may be the appropriate repair. If rotor measurements or condition require replacement, pads and rotors may be addressed together for balanced braking performance.

• Pad material is measured
• Rotor thickness is checked
• Rotor runout is evaluated
