Section 27 (Mechanical Brake System - Base (Service Information) - Coupe): General Description: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The basic brake system uses a X-type hydraulic feed arrangement. The left front and right rear brakes operate together from the same circuit, right front and left rear operate likewise. If a leak develops in the left front line or piston, the right rear brake would be affected. For safety and control, the right front and left rear circuit operates normally, providing stable braking. In this case, the left front leak must be repaired immediately as the right front left rear circuit is only provided half the braking power required for this vehicle. The main features are as follows:

A tandem type master cylinder is equipped in all models.
Tandem type 8 + 9-inch brake booster is used.
The following type of brakes are used.
Front:

Floating caliper, 1-piston, ventilated disc brakes.

Rear:

Leading-trailing type drum brake. < 2.4L Engine > Floating caliper, 1-piston, solid disc brakes. < 3.0L Engine >
