Description

This Repair Kit by Wabco is designed for the brake caliper bracket system. It is a crucial component in maintaining the functionality and safety of commercial vehicle braking systems.

Measuring 172 x 139 x 280 mm, it's engineered for durability and ease of installation, contributing to reduced downtime and consistent braking power.

Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically gives you everything you need to replace your brake pads – the new pads themselves, usually new hardware like clips and shims, and sometimes even new caliper bolts. It’s a complete package for a brake job on one axle, usually the front or the rear. You might also find some lubricant included, to keep things moving smoothly and prevent squealing. Brake pads are pretty straightforward. They’re what actually squeeze against the rotors – those shiny discs you see when you look at your wheels. That friction is what slows and stops your vehicle. They’re a critical part of your braking system, obviously, and work alongside the rotors, calipers, and brake lines. The hardware in the kit helps ensure the pads are positioned correctly and move freely.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, brake pads wear down over time. It’s just how it is. They get thinner with use, meaning it takes more pressure to stop, and eventually they’ll wear through and damage the rotors – which is a much more expensive fix. You’ll notice if your braking performance starts to feel weaker, or if you hear squealing or grinding sounds when you apply the brakes. Ignoring worn pads isn’t worth the risk. Getting a repair kit and doing the job yourself can save you a good chunk of money. We carry a lot of these, and you can often find a good selection at places like Fixparts Online, but we can definitely get you set up here too. It’s a relatively straightforward job for a DIYer with some mechanical skill, and keeping your brakes in good shape is, of course, essential for safety.
