| Vehicle in question has always been expertly maintained. the problem here, is the re placement of calipers during a rebuild sequence allows for the rebuilder, the right to replace a metal cylinder with a phenolic like cylinder, which has failed twice within a 5 month period on both front wheels. while on occasion a caliper or wheel cylinder may go bad-this design is seriously flawed in it's engineering concept. the phenolic pistons do not dissipate heat properly, and because of the design flaw of where the cylinder protracts when it meets the steel backing of the brake pad leaves fully 1/3 of the piston fully exposed to unnecessary hydraulic pressures. it is exactly at this juncture where a serious fracture occurs on the piston, rendering the brake dangerously inoperable. moreover, the possibility of the ruptured particles can fall in between the rotors and the assembly, which would cause a vehicle to pitch and overturn due to the principles of physics. chrysler has many of these deployed on the road in various models of autos an vans. this is far too dangerous an aftermarket product to allow the producers to continue flooding these markets with flawed design to begin with, and a seriously flawed replacement cylinder. as a pilot and aircraft owner i would tell you that the faa, would never permit such a desing on an aircraft. having had many extensive years of expertise on both aircraft and automotive rebuilding-these brake units should be taken off the market and a suitable replacement should be mandated by the dot. the changes necessary to accomplish this are quite simple and would be effective. i would like to see the engineering documents showing the required tests performed by these aftermarket brake assembly producer. my suspicion is that there is little or no information other than a white sheet introduced in this matter. i can assure you that considering the sheer volume of these innefficient and flawed systems that the possibility that many may have. | |||
