VIDEO: Recommend New Brake Hardware With Replacement Brake Pads

Technicians and DIYers sometimes overlook brake hardware because it often can be reused if it’s not too beat up.

Over time, the constant heating and cooling that comes with normal driving will take its toll on brake hardware.

Compromised hardware can lead to binding, pulling, uneven wear, noise and other problems.  Unwanted traits such as noise and vibration can result in a comeback for the shop, and may lead to parts being returned or replaced under warranty.
