If you’re diving into some clutch work on your Dodge Caliber or Caliber SRT-4 from 2008 to 2009, you might want to check out the Advanced Clutch Release Bearing RB008. This isn't just any release bearing; it's a solid piece that’s built to meet or even exceed OEM standards. Trust me, having a reliable release bearing is crucial for smooth gear changes, and this one fits the bill perfectly.
Installation is straightforward, and if you need a little guidance, you can find the instructions right here. Seriously, it’s a simple DIY job if you have a decent set of tools and some basic mechanical skills.
What I really appreciate about the RB008 is its precision. It’s designed to be OE style or better, which means you’re getting a part that’s not just a cheap knock-off. It’s made from durable steel, and its round shape fits snugly where it needs to go. Plus, it’s sealed, so you don’t have to worry about dirt and grime getting in and causing issues down the line.
Let’s talk numbers for a minute. The inside diameter measures in at 1.1 inches (or 27.9 mm), while the outside diameter is 2.53 inches (64.3 mm). Weighing in at just 0.8 pounds, it’s light but sturdy, and it’s self-aligning, which can save you a headache during installation. No snap ring groove here, and while it doesn’t come with a race, it’s designed to perform like you’d expect from a quality bearing.
In a nutshell, if you’re looking to keep your Caliber running smoothly, the RB008 is a no-brainer. It’s reliable, easy to install, and built to last, so you can focus on enjoying the drive instead of worrying about your clutch.
