Wabco 6401959332 Repair Kit

Description

This Repair Kit, manufactured by Wabco with MPN 6401959332, is designed for the brake caliper bracket system. It's specifically used on axles from schmitz and VALX. This kit provides a comprehensive solution for maintaining optimal braking performance by restoring critical bracket components to OE specification. Its dimensions are 177 x 139 x 282 mm, ensuring a precise fit and reliable operation.

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.
