Keep your front brakes quiet and correctly seated with the Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Hardware Kit 340-80042 — the Mazda 3 brake hardware kit that refreshes the small clips, springs, and abutment pieces that locate the pads and control noise. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the front axle of the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 and 2014-2018 Mazda 3 Sport; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Replacing this hardware whenever you service the front pads or rotors helps the new pads slide freely, sit square in the caliper bracket, and stay properly retained.
