Brake pads fasteners and joints reliably attach brake pads, and prevent them from becoming displaced. The service life of this part is not defined. New fasteners may be required during a scheduled replacement of brake pads, which is necessary after 25,000 to 30,000 km on the front axle and 30,000 to 40,000 km on the rear axle.
Important information about brake pads fasteners and joints
- Attachments that have become loose are usually accompanied by sounds from the wheels when the brake pedal is pressed. Damage to the brake pad clips, anti-rattle springs, and bolts is visible during inspections of the unit. Buying brake pads fasteners and joints is recommended if they have failed soon after installation. Faulty springs or clips cannot correctly attach the components, therefore they press the discs unevenly.
- Visiting a repair shop to have the components of the braking system diagnosed and repaired is recommended. This is because a lifting device is necessary and preliminary removal of the wheels is often required.
- Before installation of new components, specialists check the state of hoses and discs. If necessary, the components are also replaced.
- It is recommended to periodically clean dirt from the components and to avoid emergency braking when it is not necessary.
