Brakes are designed as a system, and every part has to work with the others for the best performance. Brake service experts agree that when the pads are ready to be replaced, the hardware is too. Caliper guide pins support the caliper and let it slide as the pads wear, so they are important to replace during a rear brake job.
Replacement is quick and straightforward. Signs the guide pins may need replacing include uneven or tapered pad wear, a brake that drags or pulls, and noise from the caliper area. Inspect the pins whenever you replace the rear pads. Servicing both sides of the axle together is recommended for balanced braking.
