Dodge Durango Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Dodge Durango seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Durango 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 Durango 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 Durango together.

What Is Included in the Dodge Durango Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

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

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Dodge Durango

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Dodge Durango Is Due

• Brake drag on the Dodge Durango with a wheel that runs hot after normal driving
• Soft or sinking Durango brake pedal caused by a caliper piston seal leak

Frequently Asked Questions - Dodge Durango Disc Brake Caliper Kits

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

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

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

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

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

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