Oh almost forgot the pads I got are aftermarket wagner thermoquiets....which are one single piece

Ok so my next question is since I upgraded the brakes via the part numbers provided earlier in this thread...am I to buy the 48 dollar sporting kit and lastly does that cover both sides or do I need to buy two kits....thanks

Frogbox I have a question...I completed the upgrade with phenomenal results...but now I have a different issue as a result of the upgrade...keep in mind I have the optional 19 wheels...so about four days after completing the upgrade now upon every bump I go over no matter the size of the bump both my front ties make a rattling sound...but if I brake while driving over a bump then I get no noise...I pulled over and proceeded to kick my tire and sure enough it made the same sound only more minimal...I'm curious of you encountered this same issue if not then what so you think this might be...I'm thinking pads because upon inspection all brake components are right and solid no movement what so ever...also the clearance between the wheel and caliper ha got to be 5mm only if that means anything...any help is much appreciated

There is a link just Google successful big brake upgrade dodge journey...you will need to replace calipers, rotors, pads...and have at bare minimum 17 inch wheels....it'll cost around 600 if you do the job yourself...don't waste your time on drilled or slotted...just got this done myself and love them although pedal it's a little soft other then that no shutter or shaking of steering wheel...your welcome

K this is going to make me look silly but I did order the parts....suggested but aside from the sliding pin kit that I have to get for both sides what else am I missing.....ahem when I ordered the calipers I guess I assumed all the hardware came with it but only the bleeder screw came with each caliper so what is the rest I'm missing....my friend who is installing this would know BUT I want to have everything before I get to him......you know streamline.....I looked on the Chrysler parts website and just got super confused....could I just take the calipers to autozone and just tell them I need all applicable hardware for the caliper....again sorry for sounding so inept....lol.....thanks for any constructive feedback

Ok thanks for the feedback.....I'm still going to use kreen....already made my choice before posting......I'm gonna take some before and after pics see if there was any significantly positive effects......as far as the brakes go just got all my parts in so gonna do the upgrade this weekend....again thanks everyone for the feedback

Ok I've had....have this same problem.....when I first bought my 2009 journey back in oct 2010 within the first 30 days the DVD would not read any DVD I put in....turned out something broke inside the entire unit....fortunately it was covered under carmax 30 day warranty thing.....secondly the passenger hvac lights not illuminating is just the back lights within the unit going out....I have yet to attempt to see if they can easily be replaced.....this just happened with me like two weeks ago....I will update this after taking my DVD unit apart to see what specifically is going on with the DVD units.....seeing as mine stopped working.....again

FrogBox I can not thank you enough for providing this thread.....I had to find out the hard way about the brake system on journeys but love mine so much I just can't part with it....that being said I've just ordered that parts listed minus the rotors....got those somewhere else....and plan on getting this done this weekend....if I may I have an off topic question...and you seem knowledgable in the field of automobiles.....I have generally neglected my journey.....(i.e 15k OCI, no tune up or anything done since I bout mine at 55k back in oct 2010) now I am at 119k haven't had any issues....I want your opinion on auto rx or kreen for the oil and gas...but again thank you and hopefully add to this thread with another successful upgrade....your awesome...thanks!
