Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and front position before installation. Confirm the sensor-related notes for the specific application: 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar except Sensor, 1998-2000 Ford Contour without Sensor, and 1998-2000 Mercury Mystique except Sensor. Inspect rotors, calipers, and abutment contact points during service, and apply brake lubricant where appropriate because lubricant is not included. Mounting hardware is not included, so reuse or replace any required service hardware as needed.
