Dodge Charger Disc Brake Caliper in US

The disc brake caliper on the Dodge Charger is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your Charger disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Dodge Charger, brake fluid pressure forces the caliper pistons outward, squeezing the brake pads against the rotor and generating the friction that stops your vehicle. A seized, leaking, or sticking caliper on the Charger interferes with that process at the source, causing uneven braking, accelerated pad and rotor wear, and pulling to one side that worsens over time.

Signs of a Failing Disc Brake Caliper on the Dodge Charger

• Dodge Charger pulls strongly to one side during braking, a seized caliper on one side applies more force
• Brake pedal on your Charger feels soft or spongy and improves after pumping, caliper piston seal leaking
• One brake pad on your Dodge Charger axle wears significantly faster than its partner
• Brake drag on the Dodge Charger, vehicle feels like it is fighting resistance at normal road speed
• Visible brake fluid leaking from the Charger caliper body or around the piston boot
• Grinding or scraping from one Dodge Charger wheel that persists after confirming pads are not worn

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Dodge Charger

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Dodge Charger

New OEM-specification calipers for the Dodge Charger are brand-new units manufactured to the exact piston dimensions, seal specifications, and material tolerances of the original Charger factory part. They offer the longest service life on your Dodge Charger and are the strongest choice for higher-mileage Charger vehicles or those operated in high-corrosion environments.

Remanufactured Calipers for the Dodge Charger

Remanufactured calipers for the Dodge Charger are original caliper housings completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and rebuilt with new pistons, seals, boots, and hardware. Quality remanufactured units perform identically to new calipers for most Dodge Charger replacement applications and offer excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions - Dodge Charger Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Dodge Charger in pairs?

It is generally recommended to replace calipers as an axle pair on the Dodge Charger, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain balanced braking. If one Charger caliper has failed, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same service conditions and is likely at a similar stage of wear.

How long do disc brake calipers last on a Dodge Charger in US?

Dodge Charger calipers typically last 100,000 to 150,000 kilometres, but American road salt and moisture accelerate corrosion of Charger caliper guide pins, slide pins, and piston seal boots, often causing premature failure on the Dodge Charger well before that figure.

Can a sticking caliper on my Dodge Charger damage my brake pads and rotors?

Yes. A Charger caliper that does not fully retract keeps the brake pad in partial contact with the rotor between stops, generating constant friction and heat on your Dodge Charger. This rapidly wears both the pad and rotor surface on your Charger and generates enough heat buildup to damage adjacent components over time.
