Chrysler Concorde 1998-2004 Brakes Specifications

Yes, these brakes are designed to be compatible with all trims of the 1998-2004 Chrysler Concorde, including the LX, LXi, and Limited models. They meet OEM specifications for rotor size, pad material, and caliper fitment. However, it’s recommended to verify your vehicle’s specific configuration (e.g., engine type) before purchase, as slight variations may exist.

For optimal performance, inspect the brake pads every 12,000 miles and replace them if worn below 3mm. Rotors should be checked for warping or scoring every 25,000 miles. Brake fluid should be flushed and replaced every 30,000 miles or as specified in your owner’s manual. Regular cleaning of brake components is also advised to prevent debris buildup.

To replace the brake pads, first secure the vehicle on a flat surface and remove the wheel. Then, unbolt the caliper and carefully remove the old pads. Compress the caliper piston using a C-clamp. Install the new pads, ensuring they are properly aligned, and reattach the caliper. Finally, reinstall the wheel and test the brakes before driving.

Squeaking or vibrating brakes often indicate worn pads, warped rotors, or debris buildup. Inspect the pads and rotors for damage or uneven wear. Clean the brake components thoroughly. If the issue persists, consider replacing the pads or resurfacing the rotors. Ensure all hardware is properly tightened to avoid vibrations.

Upgrade to high-performance brake pads and rotors for better stopping power and heat dissipation. Use high-quality brake fluid with a higher boiling point. Ensure proper bedding-in of new pads by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Regularly inspect and maintain brake components to prevent performance degradation.
