Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Dorman HW16180 disc brake caliper bushing, ensure the caliper pins and mounting surfaces are clean and free of corrosion. Although lubricant is not included, applying a high-temperature brake grease to the pins before inserting the bushings can improve caliper movement and reduce wear. Verify that the bushings are fully seated and aligned to prevent premature failure. This part is compatible with vehicles requiring FMSI numbers D1265 and D734; always confirm fitment with your specific make and model before installation.
