Dynamic Friction 7004-40096 Disc Brake Kit - Front and Rear

Brake Kit Overview

The Dynamic Friction 7004-40096 disc brake kit is built for drivers who want a performance-oriented brake service solution with OE-spec rotor engineering. It combines drilled and slotted rotor design benefits with DFC’s coated rotor construction for consistent braking and controlled heat management.

Compatible With 1991-1996 Dodge Dakota, front and rear, with rear drums and shoe kit. The 7004-40096 is a fitment-specific brake kit for Dakota applications that use rear drums, making it a direct match for the listed service configuration.

Key Features

• Drilled and slotted rotor design for stronger initial pad bite and improved wet-weather braking response.
• Slots help clear brake dust and road debris while reducing pad glazing.
• Drilled holes help reduce heat buildup during repeated stops.
• G3000/G11H18 cast iron construction engineered to OE specifications for durability and stability.
• Non-directional finish supports faster pad bed-in and smoother, quieter braking.
• 100% inspected for balance and critical dimensions after machining.

Detailed Description

Dynamic Friction 7004-40096 is part of the DFC Rotors-Drilled and Slotted-Silver with DFC Drums line, which focuses on performance rotor design with OE-style manufacturing standards. The rotor casting is machined to tight tolerances, finished for even pad contact, and inspected to confirm balance and dimensional accuracy. For 1991-1996 Dodge Dakota brake service, this kit supports a complete front and rear brake refresh when the vehicle is equipped with rear drums and shoe kit hardware.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake fade from excess rotor heat.
• Reduced stopping response in wet conditions.
• Pad glazing caused by heat and debris buildup.
• Uneven pad bedding after rotor replacement.
• Brake vibration concerns related to rotor balance or finish.

Installation Notes

Verify that the vehicle matches the listed rear drum and shoe kit configuration before ordering. Confirm rotor dimensions and brake system layout against the existing setup on your Dodge Dakota. Proper cleaning of the hub and careful bedding of new pads help support smooth initial braking performance.

Quality Assurance

DFC states that these rotors are manufactured to OE specifications and undergo 100% inspection for critical attributes. The 7004-40096 includes a 12 month or 12,000 mile limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
