Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Hardware Kit P/N:340-02017
Keep your rear disc brakes seated, quiet, and rattle-free with the Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Hardware Kit (340-40023). This rear-position hardware kit installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 2004-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, 2001-2008 Dodge Ram 2500, 2000-2008 Dodge Ram 3500, and the Dodge Ram 4000 in 2001-2002 and again in 2005-2008.
A disc brake hardware kit supplies the fresh clips, springs, and abutment hardware that locate the brake pads and keep them moving freely — components that fatigue, corrode, and lose tension over time. Replacing this hardware whenever you install new pads helps restore correct pad alignment and retention.
If worn or corroded rear hardware is the cause of brake noise or uneven pad wear, refreshing it with this kit addresses that.
What is a disc brake hardware kit?
It supplies the clips, springs, and abutment hardware that locate the brake pads and let them slide and retract freely at the caliper.
Which vehicles does the 340-40023 fit?
The rear brakes of the 2004-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, 2001-2008 Ram 2500, 2000-2008 Ram 3500, and Ram 4000 in 2001-2002 and 2005-2008.
Is this for the front or rear brakes?
This kit is cataloged for the rear disc brake position on the listed Dodge Ram applications.
Should I replace this hardware when I install new pads?
Yes. Fresh hardware helps restore proper pad alignment, tension, and free movement, which supports quieter, more even braking when you fit new pads.
Can worn brake hardware cause noise?
It can. Fatigued or corroded clips and springs can let pads rattle or bind. If that is the cause, replacing the hardware with this kit addresses it.
