RAM Brake Service FAQs

How can I tell if my RAM needs brake service?

While your brake warning light is an important indicator, there are other signs to watch for when it comes to brake maintenance, such as poor braking performance, vibrations, pulling, or slow braking.

Why does brake fluid need to be replaced during brake service?

The brakes in your vehicle are hydraulic, meaning they use a liquid known as brake fluid to work. Hydraulic fluid works by transforming a force, like pressing the brake pedal, into pressure. The brake fluid works as a medium for the pressure to engage a vehicle’s front and rear brakes. This fluid is a necessary component of your braking system.

What do brake pads do and why should they be replaced?

To bring your car to a safe stop, functional brake pads are essential. They generate friction against the brake rotor or drum, but over time, they wear thin and become less effective.

Why are my brakes squealing?

When you hear a high-pitched, continuous squeal while driving, it's important to have your brakes inspected, as it's often a sign that your brake pads have reached the end of their useful lifespan.
