Brake Pad: Description and Operation

NOTE: Brake friction materials inherently generate noise and heat to dissipate energy. As a result, occasional squeal is possible and it is aggravated by severe environmental conditions such as cold, heat, rain, snow, salt, mud and other conditions.

FRONT
- Slide in the front disc brake caliper anchor plate
- Use a single disc brake pad anti-rattle clip to prevent brake shoe rattle

REAR
- The rear brake shoes and linings are interchangeable left to right
- Use a three-finger clip that fits inside the rear disc brake piston.
- The outer brake shoe uses a dual-purpose clip which holds the rear brake shoes and linings on the rear disc brake caliper and also prevents caliper rattle.
- The flanges on both inner and outer rear brake shoes and linings slide on machined surfaces.
- The original equipment rear brake shoe and lining contains no asbestos.
