Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The RAM 1500 Classic brake system is comprised of the following key components:

Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to activate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to initiate the parking brake of your RAM 1500 Classic.
Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your RAM 1500 Classic rotors to slow or stop your car.
Backing plate & return spring holds your RAM 1500 Classic braking system together so it can function perfectly.
Rotors also called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are several types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let find the best type of brake rotors for your RAM 1500 Classic
Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your RAM 1500 Classic brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby extending the life of your brake system.
Brake pads or shoes are the parts that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's extremely critical to keep RAM 1500 Classic brake pads fresh by replacing them as they go through quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your RAM 1500 Classic maintenance schedule for the advised mileage intervals.
Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your RAM 1500 Classic brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined invariably for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your RAM 1500 Classic maintenance schedule for more information on when your hoses should be replaced.

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which again acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can again cause damage to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start distorting them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate again protects the brake caliper from disproportionate heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will uniformly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Often, the more pistons in a caliper, the more uniformly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
