Description

Give Your Brakes Some Love — With RDA Pads
> Brake pads are the unsung heroes of your car, turning all that forward motion into a safe, controlled stop. They wear down over time, especially if you're hitting the trails in your Jeep or hauling gear in your Chrysler. Don't get caught out with dodgy brakes, mate!
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Hear a squeal or grind when you brake? That's a cry for help.
• Brakes feel a bit soft or slow to react? Not ideal.
• Pedal feels spongy? Get it checked, pronto.
• Can see the pads are looking thin or damaged? No-brainer.
• Dashboard warning light on? Listen to your car!
Will it pass WOF?
Brake pads are a common WOF failure point here in NZ. The legal limit is around 2mm, so if they're looking skinny, you'll be gutted when your car fails the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-4 hours
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wheel wrench, socket set, wrench set, brake cleaner, brake pad spreader, torque wrench.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, so you're tackling the brakes yourself? Good on ya! But a few things first, eh?
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper stands – it's not worth the risk for a few minutes saved.
• Keep it Clean: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Grab some Brake Cleaner to blast away the grime before you start. Makes the job heaps easier and safer.
• Hand Protection: Protect your mitts with some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves. Keeps the grease and gunk off your skin.
• Lube It Up: A little anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots (check a guide!) will keep things moving smoothly and prevent future headaches.
Expert Recommendation
Replacing your brake pads is a no-brainer for safe driving, especially in vehicles like the Jeep Wrangler and Chrysler 300C. RDA pads are a good choice, but CARFIX has a range of options to suit every budget. Swing by Bob's Shop for a yarn – he'll point you in the right direction!
Fitment Notes
Make sure you get the right pads for your exact model and year. Some vehicles have different brake setups depending on the trim level. Always replace pads in pairs (both sides) for even braking.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
