Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s front brake configuration before ordering, especially rear drum size, JB7/JD7 brake codes, axle details, and any rotor-only notes shown in the fitment list. This kit is for front installation only. Follow factory service procedures, clean all mating surfaces, and inspect caliper condition, brake hoses, and wheel bearings during service.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
