• Missing or damaged wear sensor components.
• Service needs on front disc brake applications.

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and front brake application before ordering. Confirm the pad shape against FMSI 7385-D506 and match the OE-style fitment notes, including the 1990 performance package listings where applicable. Inspect caliper condition, rotor surface, and hardware contact points during installation to help ensure proper pad seating and quiet operation.
