Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should always be performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure proper clearance and caliper function. Before installing, verify that your vehicle's specific make and model are compatible with the FDB4689 part number. After physical installation, it is crucial to perform a proper 'bedding-in' procedure—several controlled, moderate stops from medium speed—to mate the pad surface to the rotor effectively. Regular maintenance should include checking the pad thickness during scheduled oil changes to ensure they are replaced before reaching the minimum thickness threshold. Always handle with clean gloves to prevent oil or grease contamination on the friction material.
