Why Dorman Aftermarket Hardware

• Direct OE replacement — dimensionally identical to the factory hardware
• Quality construction — spring temper and coating match OE spec, not a bargain-bin drop-in
• Backed by Dorman — one of the largest US-based aftermarket brake and chassis suppliers
• Direct replacement for failed originals — worn shims and fatigued clips are the specific failures this kit corrects

Why Always Replace Hardware with New Pads

• Old clips fatigue at 60k+ miles — spring temper weakens with heat cycling; new hardware maintains pad clamp force
• Prevents post-install squeal — worn shims are the top cause of "new pads still squeal" complaints
• Cheap insurance — a $15 hardware kit protects a $150-400 front brake job
• Standard shop practice — pros always replace hardware; DIY should match

Install Notes

• Install hardware IN THE ORDER of your removed OE hardware — take photos before disassembly if the layout is complex
• Apply a thin layer of silicone caliper grease to slider pins and pad-shim contact points — not chassis grease
• Compress the caliper piston with a proper spreader tool before installing new pads
• Bed pads: 8-10 medium stops from 40 to 10 mph, then 2-3 harder stops from 60 to 15 mph, air-cool between
