2017 Ram 1500 Brake Pads and Rotors

The best long-term braking performance for a 2017 Ram 1500 comes from pairing new pads with properly inspected or replaced rotors. Installing new pads on worn or warped rotors can lead to uneven wear, noise, vibration, and shorter pad life—costs that add up. At Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT of Millbury, our technicians perform a detailed measurement and visual inspection of both pads and rotors. If the rotors can be resurfaced to factory tolerances, we advise that option when it returns full contact and balance. If rotors are heat-damaged, below minimum thickness, or show runout, we recommend replacement with OEM-spec rotors to maintain braking balance and pedal feel. This holistic approach prevents premature failures, maximizes pad life, and avoids repeat labor charges. We also advise flushing brake fluid and lubricating hardware when replacing pads and rotors to ensure smooth operation. Take advantage of our service specials and flexible service financing to get both pads and rotors done correctly—schedule service now for a complete inspection and estimate.
