Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses the ATE-Teves brake system and verify chassis-number breakpoints before ordering. Match the rear pad shape, height, width, and thickness to the existing hardware, and inspect rotors, calipers, and pad contact surfaces during brake service. If the vehicle is equipped for a wear indicator, transfer or connect the indicator as required by the application.
