The cylinder body containing the primary and secondary pistons is made of aluminum. The removable fluid reservoir is made of nylon reinforced with glass fiber. The reservoir is the only serviceable component.

The fluid compartments of the nylon reservoir are interconnected to permit fluid level equalization. The equalization feature does not affect circuit separation in the event of a front or rear brake fault. The reservoir compartments will retain enough fluid to operate the functioning hydraulic circuit.

Anti-Lock Brakes -> Nitro -> Description
Vehicle: 2007 Dodge Nitro SLT 3.7 V6 GAS

During anti-lock braking, hydraulic pressure in the individual wheel circuits is controlled to prevent any wheel from slipping.

Remove one of the front wheels and inspect the brake disc, caliper and linings. The wheel bearings should be inspected at this time and repacked if required.
