Dodge Dart Brake Caliper Noise

We deal with a variety of noise related concerns that can come rolling in to the garage. This Dodge Dart was no exception as an odd rattle was clearly evident from the front of the vehicle.

Driving over rough patches of road surfaces and speed bumps was when the culprit noise concern would rear its ugly head.
A simple road test over speed bumps and we were able to distinguish the rattle and isolate a general area from the wheels as to were it was coming from.

Getting the vehicle hoisted in the air we did quickly determine that the brake caliper was excessive in movement when not applying brakes. Now in most occasions as per the design of the brake caliper their will be some slight movement, but in this case, too much and subsequently the noise source.

Anytime we determine the source of a fault we will research information regarding technical service bulletins (T.S.B) as well as any potential open recall information. This allows us to ensure that we are not missing any updated designs to fix or more importantly make sure the repair is not a current RECALL candidate. It is important that you do the same before diving in to repairs.

There are many websites claiming Recall information ,however go right to the regulated source ,as there will be less ambiguity.

NHTSA Recalls for the Dodge Dart : (Type in the V.I.N; you can find on the drivers side inner door ; and the current recalls will populate) http://www.nhtsa.gov/Vehicle+Safety/R...
There is a Recall regarding brakes for a brake booster concern, but not a brake caliper noise concern.
