Brake maintenance for the Dodge Durango should include regular inspections every 12,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Brake pads typically need replacement every 30,000-50,000 miles, while rotors may last 50,000-70,000 miles depending on driving conditions. Always check for signs of wear, such as squealing, reduced braking efficiency, or vibrations, and consult your owner’s manual for specific recommendations.

To replace brake pads on a Dodge Durango, first, safely lift the vehicle and remove the wheels. Use a wrench to remove the caliper bolts and carefully detach the caliper. Remove the old brake pads and compress the caliper piston using a C-clamp. Install the new pads, reattach the caliper, and secure the bolts. Finally, remount the wheels and lower the vehicle. Always test the brakes before driving.

If your brakes are making noise or vibrating, it could indicate worn brake pads, warped rotors, or debris in the braking system. Inspect the pads and rotors for wear or damage. Replace worn components and ensure proper installation. If the issue persists, check for caliper issues or uneven rotor surfaces. For persistent problems, consult a professional mechanic.

To optimize brake performance, use high-quality brake pads and rotors designed for your Durango. Regularly inspect and clean the braking system to remove debris. Avoid aggressive driving, which can cause overheating. Consider upgrading to performance brake components for enhanced stopping power. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance and replacement intervals.
