Keep your rear brakes seating, sliding, and quieting the way they should with the Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Hardware Kit (P/N 340-31016). This rear brake hardware kit installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2000 BMW 528I, 1997-2003 BMW 540I, 2001-2003 BMW 525I, and 2001-2003 BMW 530I — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. When you replace pads or service the rear brakes, fresh clips, springs, and retainers help the new pads move freely and stay properly positioned.
Reusing old, rusted, or fatigued clips and springs can cause noise, uneven pad wear, or sticking pads, so fitting new hardware alongside every rear pad replacement is good practice.
What is a disc brake hardware kit?
It's the set of clips, springs, and retainers that position the brake pads and let them slide freely in the caliper bracket. Fresh hardware supports proper pad movement and helps reduce noise and uneven wear.
Which vehicles does the 340-31016 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2000 BMW 528I, 1997-2003 BMW 540I, 2001-2003 BMW 525I, and 2001-2003 BMW 530I. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
Is this for the front or rear brakes?
This kit is for the rear disc brakes. Confirm your application against the Buyer's Guide tab before ordering.
Should I replace brake hardware when I install new pads?
It's good practice. Old clips and springs can become rusted or fatigued, which may cause sticking pads, noise, or uneven wear, so many technicians fit fresh hardware with every pad job.
Does this kit include brake pads?
No. This is a hardware kit containing clips, springs, and retainers for the rear brakes. Brake pads are sold separately.
