🔧 Brake Replacement Top Tips 🧰
Tip #1: Correct fitment: Not all pads are the same – part 1
This may seem like an obvious point! BUT you would be surprised how many times we have had parts sent back or our technical experts called in to check a customer’s vehicle due to incorrect fitment.
Each brake pad is developed to match the vehicle’s braking system, meaning not all brake pads are the same, and may require a slightly different approach when fitting.
➡️ Directional pads or parts with a shim can be the biggest culprits of incorrect fitment.
➡️ Directional pads ensure braking force is applied evenly across the disc.
➡️ Installing incorrectly can result in uneven wear on the pads and disc, leading to reduced performance, noise, and even brake failure. 😮
➡️ A directional brake pad will have arrows on the shim or piston clip indicating the direction of rotation; it should be fitted with the arrows pointing towards the front of the vehicle.
➡️ The brake pads will now apply even pressure to the disc, reducing noise and vibration, and improving stopping power. 😅
