Keep your front brakes quiet and moving as designed with the Carlson disc brake hardware kit H5646Q, a front-position hardware set built to refresh the clips that keep your pads seated and sliding correctly. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, 1998-2002 Ford Grand Marquis, 1999-2002 Lincoln Town Car, and 1998-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application list and engine details.
Brakes work as a system, and worn clips let pads move erratically instead of in the uniform, stable motion they're meant to have. This Carlson brake hardware kit addresses that with clips featuring a PTFE surface to reduce friction and a rubber compound designed to suppress brake noise.
Replacing hardware whenever you install new pads is good practice for consistent, stable front braking.
