Keep your rear brakes quiet and moving freely with the Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Hardware Kit (P/N 340-54018). This rear-position kit supplies the small clips and hardware that locate the brake pads and let them slide as designed, so fresh pads seat and release the way they should. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1993-2005 Ford Taurus, 1993-1997 Ford Thunderbird and 1993-2005 Mercury Sable, installing as a direct-fit replacement for the rear brakes — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine-level fitment.
Worn, rusted or missing hardware can let pads bind, rattle or wear unevenly, so fitting fresh hardware whenever you replace the rear pads is good practice for consistent braking.
