Dodge Journey Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

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

What Is Included in the Dodge Journey Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

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

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Dodge Journey

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Dodge Journey Is Due

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Dodge Journey Disc Brake Caliper Kits

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

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

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

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

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

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