How to Replace a Brake Caliper on Chrysler Cirrus?

If replacement is indicated, explore all options before beginning this procedure. New and factory rebuilt calipers are available on an exchange basis, which makes this job quite easy. Always replace the calipers in pairs - never replace just one of them. Loosen the front wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the front wheels. Unscrew the banjo bolt from the caliper and detach the hose. Discard the sealing washers on each side of the fitting and use new ones during installation. Plug the hose to prevent fluid loss and contamination. Clean the caliper assembly with brake system cleaner. Install the brake pads and caliper. Tighten the caliper guide pin bolts. Connect the brake hose to the caliper using new sealing washers. Tighten the banjo bolt. Firmly depress the brake pedal a few times to bring the pads into contact with the disc. Check the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir and add more if necessary. Bleed the brakes. Install the wheels and lug nuts. Lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts. Carefully check for fluid leaks and test the operation of the brakes before resuming normal operation.

Chrysler Cirrus Brake Caliper

The Brake Caliper as will be seen in the case of the Chrysler Cirrus is important in the braking system where it acts to change and transmute hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder into mechanical force. This force is well required for applying force on brake pads against the rotors, so as to slow down or stop a vehicle. Chrysler Cirrus use fixed and floating brake calipers as used in other models of Chrysler cars. The fixed ones have one or several pistons on both sides of the rotor while the floating ones have the pistons on one side only and move to apply pressure although such are likely to have problems like the uneven pad wear if not well attended to. Chrysler Brake Calipers are mainly made out of cast iron with pistons of steel and phenolic content. There are also options for performance parts which include improved caliper over the factory equipment, and include better braking, looks and style. The Brake Caliper must be inspected and maintained time to time, may be due to the brake drag issues or may be due to the brake fluid leakage etc that can hamper the efficiency of the Chrysler Cirrus vehicles.
