Why is installing a new Brake Pad Fitting Kit important when fitting a brake pad?
The tension of the springs can significantly increase the wear of brake pads.
For example, using an old, worn and unsafe pin as part of a pad fitting kit can cause the spring force to be too low.
This can result in noise occurance or an unequal and disproportionate wear on the brake pads.
This increases the risk of damaging the brake disc or an unequal brake effect, which reduces brake stability and safety.
