Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm year, model, and chassis serial number before installation, since several listings are limited by production breakpoints. Inspect the brake hydraulic system for contamination, air in the lines, and worn seals before putting the vehicle back into service. After installation, bleed the brake system according to factory procedure and verify pedal feel and fluid level.
