2008 - Current Dodge AvengerThe new Dodge Avenger gives a sporty look to the often drab mid-sized sedan class, with the possible future option of AWD and a performance engine upgrade.
After driving my daughter's 2008 Dodge Avenger SE for the past few days I noticed a slight grinding noise coming from the front brakes, especially if you apply the down pressure a lot and if you let go it disappears.
It's been 5 years since I done them so, I opted to replace them with the best pads. After jacking up the vehicle and taking off the tires and calipers I found the Front Brake Pads to be less than 1/4 (Quarter) of an inch left and they seemed to look okay.
Nope, I replaced them anyway as I had the new Ceramic Pads on hand!
It is really strange grinding noise coming from Brake Pads that still had lots of life is my thoughts and they did NOT seemed to be crystallized in any way.
Lately, I have had great results with the Newer Ceramic material for Brake Pads so, I am hopeful these will last a long time. Test drive indicated smooth and powerful stopping power.

Always remember to take OFF the Brake Filler Cap to allow Pressure and Fluid to come up. Setup and Jack Stand UP FRONT! Carefully returning Caliper Piston back.
