1
Confirm Vehicle Compatibility: Verify the specific vehicle model, year, and brake system configuration before purchasing.
2
Confirm Brake System Type: This model is specifically designed for KNORR SM7 series brake calipers. Ensure the vehicle's brake system matches this before installation.
3
Choose Friction Material Type: Select the appropriate material based on your usage requirements:
Daily transport / long-haul driving: Ceramic formulation – low noise, low dust.
Heavy load / frequent braking / mining conditions: Semi-metallic formulation – good wear resistance, strong braking power.
4
Wear Indicator Configuration: This model is not prepared for a wear indicator. No electronic wear indicator connection is required during installation.
5
Check Kit Contents: Included accessories vary by brand.
6
Replace in Pairs: To ensure balanced braking performance, it is recommended to replace brake pads on both left and right wheels of the same axle simultaneously. Standard kits typically contain 4 pieces (sufficient for a single axle replacement).
7
Verify with VIN: Vehicle configurations may vary by model year and trim level. The most reliable method is to provide the vehicle VIN (chassis number) for precise compatibility.
