Keep your front or rear brake calipers sliding freely and your pads meeting the rotors at the correct angle with the Carlson disc brake caliper pin kit H5050. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1991-2003 Ford Escort, along with a wide range of Mazda, Mercury, Nissan, Toyota, Jaguar and Volvo models — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of covered applications.
Brakes work as a system, and most service experts agree that when the friction material is replaced, the caliper hardware should be too. These guide pins locate the caliper and help hold the piston in position so the pads contact the rotor squarely for even, effective stopping.
- Even pad contact: Helps keep the brake pads meeting the rotors at the correct angle for a balanced braking system.
- Quieter operation: Designed to support a quieter, more efficient braking system.
- OE-quality build: Matches Original Equipment (OE) quality specifications and is made with quality materials to handle high stress.
- Corrosion-resistant coating: A protective coating helps resist corrosion from harsh road conditions.
Designed for an easy, fast replacement during a pad or hardware service.

Which vehicles does the H5050 pin kit fit?
It fits many vehicles, among them the 1991-2003 Ford Escort, plus a wide range of Mazda, Mercury, Nissan, Toyota, Jaguar and Volvo models. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your vehicle.
Should I replace the guide pins when I do a brake job?
Many brake service experts recommend replacing the caliper hardware whenever the friction material is replaced, since worn or sticking pins can affect how the pads meet the rotor.
What are signs the caliper guide pins may need replacing?
Sticking or seized pins can cause uneven pad wear, brake drag, or noise. If worn guide pins are the cause, this kit replaces them.
