What does a brake caliper pin kit do?
The caliper guide pins help locate the caliper so the brake pads meet the rotor at the correct angle. This supports even, quieter braking at the rear disc brakes.
Does Carlson 14156 fit the 2004-2005 Toyota RAV4?
Yes. Carlson 14156 is listed for the rear brakes of the 2004-2005 Toyota RAV4. It also fits the 2000-2004 Kia Spectra. See the Buyer's Guide tab for other vehicles.
