When to Have Dodge Ramcharger Brake Service

It’s best to get a brake check before your Dodge Ramcharger shows signs of brake troubles. We offer free brake inspections as a benefit to all of our customers so that we can help prevent problems from starting in the first place. You can request a free brake check as a standalone service or in addition to work you're already having done on your Dodge, like a battery replacement. However, if routine car care has slipped your mind for quite some time, you might want to pay attention and watch for the following brake issues.

Brake problems include unusual noises, a vibrating pedal or steering wheel, a burning smell near your tires, a dashboard brake light that’s powered on, or the feeling that something is "off." You know your Dodge Ramcharger best. A free brake check can help keep your system performing well. Generally speaking, automakers like Dodge suggest that at a minimum, front and rear brakes are removed and serviced at least once every 12 months or 12,000 miles. That includes checking the parking brake, too. Brake service and/or repair should be performed as necessary. When in doubt, visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for a quick inspection. Most of our locations are open seven days a week and in the evening for free brake checks. Our expert technicians are happy to examine your 1987 Dodge Ramcharger brakes, brake pads, and other braking components. Properly maintaining your brake system is so important.

Dodge Ramcharger Brake Pad Replacement

How often do 1987 Dodge Ramcharger brake pads need to be replaced? It depends on you and your driving style. The majority of brake pads last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving mostly on highways and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. Alternatively, riding the brakes and hauling heavy loads can shorten their useful life. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your Ramcharger. Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers Dodge Ramcharger brake pad replacements, coupons on brake services, and a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty on brake pads. We do brake checks and brake pad replacements every day, and for your Ramcharger, we’ll only use parts that meet or surpass Dodge’s standards.

Dodge Ramcharger Brake Repair

Your Dodge Ramcharger may be powered by a strong engine. One that’s strong enough to take you into high mileage territory. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal. If you notice your brakes are squeaking or not working well, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best. Plus, waiting can lead to more expensive parts wearing out and requiring replacement. For example, rotors start to warp and become damaged when completely worn brake pads exceed their lifespan, shortening the life of healthy parts due to the metal on metal grinding that occurs. Our technicians work to prevent more brake damage. Go to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for 1987 Dodge Ramcharger brake repairs. Our brake repair services include pad/shoe replacement, rotor/drum resurfacing, brake fluid exchange, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder service.

Questions About Your Dodge Ramcharger Brakes

  • What can cause my Ramcharger to shake when I apply the brakes? If your Ramcharger shakes when you brake, you could be dealing with warped rotors, faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, or loose or worn suspension parts. Schedule a free brake inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help diagnosing your brake issue.
  • What is the total number of brake pads on my Ramcharger? It’s common for vehicles to have four brake pads per axle — two on each front wheel and two on each back wheel. Since the front wheels tend to put in more work when bringing your Ramcharger to a stop, the front brake pads usually wear out sooner than the rear ones.
  • How long should my Ramcharger brake pads last? You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your Ramcharger can affect this. Hauling large loads or riding your brakes can shorten their lifespan, while smoothly braking and mostly sticking to highways can help your brake pads last longer.
  • Should my Ramcharger be leaking brake fluid when the car is off? Because your Ramcharger brake system is a closed hydraulic system, it should not leak brake fluid. However, if components in your brake system have worn out or been damaged, it might cause brake fluid to leak.
