• Brake noise caused by caliper vibration
• Pulling to one side during braking

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake system is properly bled to avoid air in the lines, which can cause a low brake pedal. Use the recommended brake fluid type as specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Clean mounting surfaces thoroughly before installing the bracket. Apply the included grease pack to the bracket contact points to reduce squeal and vibration. Verify caliper alignment after installation to prevent uneven pad wear.
