The Story
Front Brake Kit for Ram 1500
DFC Friction part number 4512-40162 is a front disc brake kit built for Ram 1500 applications from 2019-2026, including 2022 6-lug wheel trucks and 2023-2026 models. It combines GEOSPEC coated rotors, 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads, and hardware for a complete front brake service.
Key Features
- Front disc brake kit for Ram 1500
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with dry-to-install finish
- 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH control
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
- Part number 4512-40162 for easy ordering and lookup
Product Details
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware line is built for drivers who want OE-style braking performance with corrosion protection and consistent pedal feel. The coated rotors are processed dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during a front brake job on a Ram 1500. Their non-directional finish supports even pad bed-in and smoother, quieter stops, while the cast iron construction is machined to tight tolerances and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched to reduce initial break-in time and deliver stable friction from the first stop. Part number 4512-40162 is a direct front brake service solution for 2019-2026 Ram 1500 trucks listed in the fitment data.
What This Brake Kit Helps Address
- Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
- Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or stressed hardware
- Rotor rust buildup on exposed braking surfaces
- Reduced stopping consistency from aged front brake components
- Excess caliper movement related to worn hardware
Installation Notes
Compatible With 2019-2021 Ram 1500, front; 2022 Ram 1500, front, 6 lug wheels; and 2023-2026 Ram 1500, front. Verify wheel configuration and front brake application before installation. Clean mating surfaces, follow proper torque procedures, and complete a controlled bed-in after installation to help the pads and rotors seat evenly. Part number 4512-40162 is intended for front axle service only.
Quality Assurance
DFC rotors are manufactured to OE specifications, finished with a corrosion-resistant coating, and backed by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post-cured, scorched, and assembled with premium shims to support stable friction performance and reduced noise.
