Key Features

• Disc brake hardware kit for rear brake service
• PTFE-treated contact surfaces to reduce friction
• Rubber compound design to help minimize brake noise
• Supports brake pad and abutment clip service on select vehicles
• Carlson part number 13596Q

Detailed Description

Brakes work as a system, and worn hardware can affect pedal feel, pad movement, and noise control. Carlson 13596Q is designed for rear disc brake service on vehicles including the Ford Transit-150, Transit-250, Transit-350, Transit-350 HD, Transit Custom, Volkswagen Golf, GTI, Jetta, Passat, Beetle, Eos, Vento, Clasico, Caddy, and Audi A3 Quattro. This part number, 13596Q, is a practical choice when servicing rear brake hardware on applications that call for a disc brake caliper pin boot kit or related brake hardware support.

This part cross-references Bosch Brakes D1456 and Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise from worn or deteriorated hardware
• Uneven pad movement caused by friction at contact points
• Service issues related to aging rear brake clips and support hardware
• Reduced caliper pin protection when boot hardware is worn
• Brake service on rear disc brake systems for Ford, Volkswagen, and Audi models

Installation Notes and Tips

Install during rear brake service whenever the existing hardware shows wear, corrosion, or loss of tension. Clean the caliper bracket and pad contact areas before assembly, and verify that all moving surfaces are properly seated before returning the vehicle to service. Confirm vehicle-specific rear fitment for the Transit Custom, Transit-150, Transit-250, Transit-350, Transit-350 HD, Golf, GTI, Jetta, Passat, Beetle, Eos, Vento, Clasico, Caddy, and A3 Quattro before installation.

Quality Assurance

Carlson designs brake service components as part of a system-focused approach, using PTFE and rubber-compound features to support smooth operation and noise control in rear brake applications.
