Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Cars / August 20042001 Dodge Caravan Brakes
2001 Caravan with 63000 km (4 wheel discs) brake pedal pulsing and steering wheel vibration when braking at higher speeds (still felt at slower speeds but not as much). This is the second caravan (1999) I have owned that developed this problem at the same mileage. Anyone with the same experience? Is this generally around the point for a front brake job with rotors? What is a reasonable cost for front brakes with and without rotors. All advice appreciated. sounds like your frt rotors are warped. frt brake job is usually less than 100.00 not sure about rotor prices. > 2001 Caravan with 63000 km (4 wheel discs) brake pedal pulsing and steering > wheel vibration when braking at higher speeds (still felt at slower speeds [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > rotors?

I have the same problem with my 2001 Grand Caravan (most noticeable over 40 mph), replacing front pads and turning rotors reduced but did not eliminate the problem. The dealer thinks that maybe the rear brakes are the problem. > sounds like your frt rotors are warped. > frt brake job is usually less than 100.00 [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > rotors. > > All advice appreciated. > 2001 Caravan with 63000 km (4 wheel discs) brake pedal pulsing and steering > wheel vibration when braking at higher speeds (still felt at slower speeds [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > rotors?

If there's a Sears near you, you can have it done while you wait probably.  SignatureIf you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

Recently when I did the front brakes on a Ford Taurus with 125,000 miles on it, I elected to spend $24 each for new rotors instead. The old ones are still in service, though. They make good tarpaulin weights if you don't mind them rusting. -GP |
