Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Hardware Kit P/N:340-54022
Keep your front brakes clamping quietly and evenly with the Dynamic Friction Company Front Disc Brake Hardware Kit 340-73008 (also written 34073008). This kit supplies the fresh clips, springs, and small hardware that locate the pads and keep them moving freely against the rotor — the pieces that should be renewed every time you install new front pads. It's a direct-fit replacement for the front axle of the 2012-2018 Audi A6 Quattro, 2016-2018 Audi A6, 2012-2018 Audi A7 Quattro, 2013-2014 Audi A8 Quattro, and 2012-2014 Mercedes-Benz E550 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Reusing tired, rusted clips can cause uneven pad wear, drag, or noise. If worn front brake hardware is contributing to those signs, this kit replaces it. Install as part of a complete front disc brake hardware kit service alongside fresh pads for the listed applications.

Should I replace the hardware when I install new pads?
It's recommended. Worn or rusted clips can cause uneven pad wear, drag, or noise, so renewing the hardware with each front pad job helps the new pads perform as intended.

This is a front disc brake hardware kit, cataloged for the front axle of the listed applications.
Does this kit resist corrosion and heat?
Yes. It's built with corrosion, chemical, and high-heat resistance so the hardware holds up against road salt, brake fluid, cleaners, and the elevated temperatures at the front brakes.
