Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front axle fitment, pad dimensions, and wear sensor requirements before installation. This set does not include mounting hardware, and it is prepared for a mechanical pad wear sensor but does not include a pad wear sensor. Inspect rotors, calipers, and guide hardware during brake service, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake bedding procedure after installation. Part number 4000-1078-00 is listed for front applications only.
