Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear axle configuration and note application-specific fitment details before installation. Some listings require no abutment clips, while others specify independent rear suspension; match the vehicle exactly to the fitment notes. Inspect rotors, calipers, and pad contact surfaces during service, and confirm the pad shape matches the rear brake hardware on the vehicle.
