Detailed Description

Brakes work as a system, and worn abutment clips or related hardware can affect how the pads slide and seat during braking. Carlson 13173 is a front disc brake hardware kit intended for service on select Nissan models, including 2015 Nissan Frontier front, 2011-2014 Nissan Frontier front, 2006-2008 Nissan Frontier front, 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier front, 1995-2008 Nissan Pickup front, 1995-1997 Nissan Pickup front, 1987-1995 Nissan Pathfinder front, 1986-1994 Nissan D21 front, and 1986 Nissan 720 front. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Use Carlson 13173 when servicing front brake hardware on Nissan Frontier and related Nissan truck platforms.

What It Helps Address

• Brake pad drag caused by worn or corroded hardware
• Uneven pad movement in the front brake assembly
• Noisy brake operation related to aged abutment clips
• Poor pad seating after front brake service
• Inconsistent braking feel from deteriorated service hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the caliper bracket, pad contact points, and surrounding brake components before installation. Clean all mounting surfaces thoroughly so the new hardware seats correctly, and verify the application against the vehicle’s front brake configuration before service. For best results, replace related wear items at the same time when they show corrosion, distortion, or uneven contact patterns.

Quality Assurance

Carlson designs brake service components for application-specific fitment and consistent hardware replacement on supported Nissan front brake systems. Part number 13173 is cataloged for direct lookup by technicians and parts buyers working on Nissan Frontier, Pickup, Pathfinder, D21, and 720 front brake service.
