Keep your brake pads seated, sliding, and quiet with the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Abutment Service Kit / Pad Installation Kit (P652). This hardware kit drops in as a direct replacement for the listed Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, and Mercury trucks and SUVs, including the 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, 1997-2003 Ford F-150, and 1995-2008 Ford Ranger — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Brake systems are designed to work together, and fresh abutment hardware keeps the pads moving in a uniform, stable motion at the caliper bracket rather than binding or floating. Replacing worn clips helps restore the brake hardware to like-new operation and is designed to help suppress noise and premature pad wear.
Dust boots are not included. Country of origin: China.
