Installation Notes

Confirm rear axle fitment by year, make, model, and brake configuration before installation. Some listed applications note abutment clips, stainless hardware, or specific rotor and caliper requirements in the vehicle fitment data; verify those details against the exact vehicle before ordering. For best results, inspect rotors, calipers, and slide hardware during brake service and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedure.
