Common Brake Issues It May Address

• Uneven rear brake pad wear caused by bracket or caliper alignment issues
• Brake drag from a bracket that no longer supports smooth caliper movement
• Noise from worn or distorted caliper mounting surfaces
• Poor brake response related to compromised rear brake hardware
• Service problems from damaged or worn bolt threads

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear left or rear right position before ordering, since fitment varies by side. Clean the mounting surfaces thoroughly and inspect pads, rotors, and caliper hardware during service. Use the grease pack during assembly where specified, and confirm all fasteners are torqued to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. Brake fluid type should always match the OE recommendation listed on the master cylinder reservoir lid.
