Brake pads for a Dodge Hornet can cost anywhere between $150 per axle and $450 per axle depending on the type of brake pad needed.

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Dodge Hornet brake system is comprised of the following key components:

• Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to initiate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to initiate the parking brake of your Dodge Hornet.
• Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Dodge Hornet brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined repeatedly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Dodge Hornet maintenance schedule for more details on when your hoses should be replaced.
• Backing plate & return spring holds your Dodge Hornet braking system together so it can function accurately.
• Heat Shield or dust shield helps impede grime buildup thereby lengthening the life of your brake system.
• Brake pads or shoes are the parts that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's extremely crucial to keep Dodge Hornet brake pads fresh by replacing them as they go through quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Dodge Hornet maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Dodge Hornet brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Dodge Hornet rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
• Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
• Rotors again called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are many types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let find the best type of brake rotors for your Dodge Hornet

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which still acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can still cause damage to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start distorting them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate still protects the brake caliper from disproportionate heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will equally distribute pressure against the brake disc. Often, the more pistons in a caliper, the more equally the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
