Common Issues Addressed by These Brake Pads
- Brake noise and squealing caused by worn or missing shims

- Vibration or judder during braking from missing abutment clips
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the MPA Electrical 1003-1561C brake pads, ensure all included hardware such as abutment clips and pad shims are properly positioned to maintain optimal pad alignment and reduce noise. Clean the caliper bracket and mounting surfaces before installation to prevent premature wear. Although brake lubricant is not included, applying a high-temperature brake grease to the back of the pads and hardware contact points is recommended to further reduce noise and ensure smooth operation.
