Front Brake Caliper & Pads (Steering Knuckle-Mounted Caliper): Installation

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Install wheels. Tighten wheel nuts in crisscross sequence to half torque, then repeat tightening sequence to full torque. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  table.
  5. 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.
