Autopart International 1406-247345 Disc Brake Caliper Guide Pin - Kit

The Autopart International 1406-247345 is a disc brake caliper guide pin kit designed to restore proper function to floating brake calipers. These critical hardware components allow the brake caliper to slide smoothly during braking, ensuring both brake pads apply even pressure to the rotor for balanced, effective stopping power.

Key Features:

• Direct replacement caliper guide pin hardware for multiple vehicle applications
• Enables proper caliper sliding motion for even brake pad wear
• Helps prevent premature pad wear and brake performance issues
• Essential maintenance component for brake service
• Includes pins and hardware needed for proper installation

Guide pins serve a vital role in floating caliper brake systems by providing the sliding axis that allows the caliper body to move when the piston pushes the inner pad against the rotor. This sliding motion pulls the outer pad against the opposite side of the rotor, creating equal clamping force on both sides. When guide pins become corroded, seized, or improperly lubricated, the caliper cannot slide freely, resulting in uneven pad wear, reduced braking efficiency, and potential caliper seizure. Regular inspection and replacement of worn guide pin hardware during brake service helps maintain optimal brake system performance and longevity.
