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

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Worn front brake pads that reduce stopping performance
• Brake noise caused by aged pad friction material
• Uneven pedal feel from deteriorated pad construction
• Excessive brake dust from worn or incompatible pads
• Reduced braking consistency during repeated stops

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front axle fitment, caliper type, and vehicle year before installation. Clean the caliper bracket and pad contact points, inspect rotors for wear or scoring, and replace any damaged hardware on the vehicle side as needed. Brake lubricant is not included, and mounting hardware is not included. The included shims and abutment clips should be installed as part of a complete brake service. After installation, follow proper bedding-in procedures to help the pads seat correctly.
