Why Brake Hardware Kits Are So Crucial for Brake Pad Jobs 

Learn more

Reusing old clips, shims, or rubber sleeves might save you five minutes.
But it could cost you a comeback. Brake hardware is what keeps a pad job clean, quiet, and long-lasting. Skip it, and you are asking for squeals, uneven wear, and early complaints.

Why Hardware Kits Matter More Than Most Think

Hardware might be small, but it plays a big role. When pads bind or fail to retract properly, it usually comes back to a worn or missing clip. The result? Premature wear, cooked rotors, and noise that comes back after one week.

Replacing old hardware every time helps:

  • Keep pad movement smooth
  • Prevent brake squeal or rattle
  • Extend the life of your brake job

Explore our brake pad and hardware kit options available for same-day pickup.

What’s Typically Included in a Brake Hardware Kit?

  • Abutment clips
  • Anti-rattle shims
  • Pad spacers
  • Rubber bushings or sleeves
  • Silicone grease (in some kits)

It is not just fluff. These are the parts that make a 30,000 km install possible.
