Tips

Before buying, compare the catalog numbers with the markings in your vehicle and make sure the part fits the model year and engine version. It is best to have installation done by a workshop, and after replacement check the operation of the system on a short test drive. Brake system components have a direct impact on safety, so it is not worth skimping on the accuracy of the fit. When replacing a caliper, the pads are usually replaced as well and the condition of the disc is checked.
