Dodge Charger Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Dodge Charger seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Charger keeps the brake pad in continuous contact with the rotor, wearing the pad unevenly and scoring the rotor surface. By the time the caliper on the Dodge Charger is identified as the fault, the pads are typically worn asymmetrically and the rotor is damaged. A caliper kit from GeoBrakes addresses every compromised component on your Dodge Charger together.

What Is Included in the Dodge Charger Disc Brake Caliper Kit

The kit for your Dodge Charger includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Charger, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Dodge Charger piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Charger caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Dodge Charger, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Charger, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Dodge Charger application.

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Dodge Charger

A caliper kit is the right call for the Dodge Charger in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Charger are already compromised. During a high-mileage Charger overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Dodge Charger are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Charger brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Dodge Charger.

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Dodge Charger

New OEM-specification calipers for the Dodge Charger are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Charger vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Dodge Charger housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Charger replacement applications.

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Dodge Charger Is Due

• Dodge Charger pulling to one side during braking, one caliper applying more force than the other
• One brake pad on your Charger worn significantly more than its pair on the same axle
• Brake drag on the Dodge Charger with a wheel that runs hot after normal driving
• Soft or sinking Charger brake pedal caused by a caliper piston seal leak
• Brake fluid visible around the Dodge Charger caliper piston boot
• Persistent metallic dragging noise from one Charger corner not explained by worn pads

Why GeoBrakes for the Dodge Charger Caliper Kit

Calipers for the Dodge Charger are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the Charger are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Dodge Charger exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions - Dodge Charger Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Dodge Charger at the same time?

It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Dodge Charger has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Charger. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Charger caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Dodge Charger after installing a caliper kit?

Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Dodge Charger to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Charger must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Dodge Charger.

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Dodge Charger kit?

A new caliper for the Dodge Charger has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Charger housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Dodge Charger applications.
