What brand brake pads does Dodge use?
There isn't a single brake-pad brand across the entire Dodge lineup. On high-performance SRT models, Brembo pads (as part of a Brembo braking system) are typically used; on most other Dodge vehicles, the pads come from the OEM supplier tied to the specific braking setup and can vary by year, trim, and market.
To determine the exact pad brand for a specific Dodge, you should check the vehicle’s service manual, the dealer’s parts catalog, or the brake pad part number printed on the existing pads or caliper label. This article explains how the pad brand varies by model and how to verify it for your car.
Branding by Dodge model and trim
The following overview explains how the brake-pad brand is typically determined across Dodge’s lineup, with emphasis on performance versus standard configurations.
- High-performance Dodge models with SRT or Track packages, where Brembo supplies the braking system, including pads.
- Most non-SRT Dodge models, where the braking system is built by another OEM under contract, with pads from brands such as Akebono, Bendix, or Wagner depending on year and market.
In short, the pad brand is not uniform across Dodge’s lineup; it depends on the specific model, trim, and production year.
How to verify for your vehicle
If you want the precise brake-pad brand for a given Dodge, use the VIN to pull the exact parts catalog entry, or inspect the current pads for the stamped brand and part number. Your service advisor or dealership should be able to confirm the correct pad brand for your exact configuration.
Summary
There is no single Dodge brake-pad brand applicable to every model. Brembo-branded pads are standard on the company’s high-performance SRT variants, while other models rely on OEM pad brands determined by the braking system for that year and trim. Always verify with model-specific documentation or a parts catalog to ensure you get the correct pads for your vehicle.
