Dorman Parking Brake Lever Kit for Chrysler Dodge Ram - 924-544 Corrosion-Resistant Direct-Fit Replacement

Dorman 924-544 Parking Brake Lever Kit is a direct-fit replacement for seized or corroded parking brake actuators on select Chrysler, Dodge, and Ram trucks. If your parking brake struggles to release or feels stuck, the lever mechanism can be the culprit after years of exposure to moisture and road salt. The Dorman 924-544 kit replaces the original lever assembly with a corrosion-resistant unit manufactured to match factory fit and operation. Installing this part restores proper handbrake operation without the need for custom modification.

How will this kit resolve a stuck parking brake?

The kit replaces worn or seized lever hardware that prevents cables and linkages from moving freely. With the new coated components, the lever pivots and engages like the original, reducing binding and allowing the brake to fully release.

• Direct-replacement design replicates original mounting points and geometry
• Corrosion-resistant coating prevents future seizing
• Replaces both worn pivot and actuator contact surfaces

Is installation difficult and what tools do I need?

Installation is straightforward and designed for a standard garage repair; no specialty tools are required. Basic hand tools such as ratchets, sockets and pliers are typically all that’s needed, and most technicians can complete the swap quickly.
