Front Brake Caliper & Pads (Steering Knuckle-Mounted Caliper): Installation
- Inboard pads are common. Outboard pads are marked with an "L" or "R", indicating installation side on vehicle. Generously lubricate both adapter ways with Mopar multipurpose lubricant (or equivalent).
- Install new inboard pad assembly in caliper; ensure retainer enters into bore of piston. Remove protective paper from noise suppression gasket, and position correct marked outboard pad hold-down spring into caliper.
- Carefully lower caliper over disc and guide hold-down spring under machined abutment on knuckle assembly. Install attaching bolts and tighten to 18-25 ft. lbs. (23-34 N.m).NOTE: Caution should be taken not to cross-thread caliper bolts.
- Install wheels. Tighten wheel nuts in crisscross sequence to half torque, then repeat tightening sequence to full torque. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table.
- Lower vehicle and operate brake pedal to ensure a firm feel. Road test vehicle and make several stops to wear off any foreign material on brakes and to seat brake pad linings.
