  1. . The problem is Chinese steel of the rotors and high friction, low wear coefficient pads. A rotor upgrade is due. The pads also. I am not familiar with the slider setup on these calipers, but a little insight would be nice. Chrysler has been bringing a lot of the parts manufacturing back to the US, but I do not know about the brake rotors other than Daimler and Cerebrus had the stuff made in China.

    Your incorrect on them being made in china. And if you have the bigger brakes,as by the sounds of it you do, I wouldn't get to excited about swapping them out. We have had almost 0 issues with them , on caravans or journeys.

  2. Atleast it's just a back ordered hitch. It's not like it's leaking fluid from the rear diff or anything.. LoL. (just busting your balls)

    But seriously, can't you cancel the order and try sourcing it somewhere else?

    LOL yeah true! ;-) I didn't tell the wife about that. Can get aftermarket, but the hang out and look awful. May try and sourse a cheap one, then sell it once I get the OE one. Chrysler has their head up their a$$ sometimes, this sure is one of them.

  3. Not suprised they needed doing, same brakes on caravans and journeys since 08-early 12. The pads stick in the caliper hanger/bracket, due to rust. Hopefully they did them right, and cleaned under the antirattle clips, and applied lots of antiseize. They need to be serviced yearly in the rust belt, front and rear.Pads need to move VERY freely and be well lubed to last on these vehicles.
