Keep your front disc brakes quiet, properly seated, and easy to service with the Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Hardware Kit 340-73009 (also written 34073009). This front-position brake hardware kit is a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2018 Audi A8 Quattro and the 2014-2017 Audi SQ5 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment. Replacing the small clips, springs, and abutment hardware whenever you install new pads helps the pads sit and slide correctly in the caliper bracket.
Designed for easy assembly and removal, this disc brake hardware kit fits the front axle. Worn, rusted, or collapsed hardware can cause noise, uneven pad wear, or pads that stick or drag; if failed hardware is the cause, fresh clips and springs restore proper pad movement. Refresh the hardware every time you service the front pads for consistent brake feel.

What is a brake hardware kit for?
It replaces the small clips, springs, and mounting hardware that hold the brake pads in the caliper bracket and let them slide freely, helping the pads seat and wear evenly.
Should I replace the hardware when I install new pads?
Yes. Worn or corroded hardware can cause noise, sticking, or uneven pad wear, so most procedures call for fresh hardware with every pad service for consistent brake feel.
What features does this DFC hardware kit offer?
It provides corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and high heat resistance, plus a low coefficient of friction and easy assembly and removal for smooth pad movement.
