Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm front axle fitment before ordering, since this pad set is specific to front applications only.

Inspect rotors, calipers, and wear sensors during service, and replace any damaged components as needed. The pads are prepared for an electronic wear sensor, but a sensor is not included.
