Common Brake Issues Addressed

• Brake squeal or noise during light and moderate stops
• Excessive brake dust buildup on rear wheels
• Uneven or inconsistent pedal feel from worn rear pads
• Reduced stopping performance from worn friction material
• Brake fade during repeated stops or higher-temperature operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect rotors, caliper slides, and pad contact points before installation. Clean the bracket and abutment areas thoroughly, and apply brake lubricant where the service procedure calls for it, since lubricant is not included. Verify rear fitment by model year before ordering, and confirm the pad shape matches the vehicle’s original rear brake configuration.
