Product Details

DFC built this brake kit for drivers who need a front brake service solution with matched components. The coated rotors are machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and balanced where required. The ceramic pads are formulated for consistent friction and reduced break-in time, while the hardware kit addresses worn or corroded clips and related caliper movement concerns. This part number 4512-40144 is a practical choice for front brake work on Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, and related platform vehicles.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or weak hardware
