Keep your brake caliper sliding true and your pads wearing evenly with the Dorman - First Stop Disc Brake Caliper Bolt / Guide Pin (HW5962). This steel caliper bolt threads into the caliper or its bracket and lets the caliper float on its slide so the pads clamp the rotor squarely. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of vehicles, including the 2014-2020 Acura RLX, 2015-2020 Acura TLX, 2015-2020 Audi A3, 2019-2024 BMW 330I, 2012-2018 Ford F-150, 2016-2025 Honda HR-V and 2020-2025 Land Rover Defender 110 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 115 applications.
- Fit and function: designed to match the original part's fit and function on the listed applications.
- Steel construction: made from steel for reliable performance.

Signs the guide pin/bolt may need replacing include uneven or tapered pad wear, brake drag, or a caliper that binds instead of sliding smoothly — diagnose the cause before replacing.
