Good idea! You'll be getting more even and consistent brake pad wear compared to the old stock, worn rubber pin bushings as well as better braking response because these bushings will eliminate the ‚flex‚ or ‚play‚ the stock worn rubber bushings provide. Since these bushings make the caliper evenly squeeze both brake pads together, that means more stopping power! But as opposed to rubber bushings these brass bushings do need to stay lubricated (greased) to work at their full potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLet's get started.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStep 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove your wheel from the side you are working on.

Then remount your caliper and brake pads. Lastly, check the torque specifications on the guide pins for your certain vehicle as over-tightening can cause the pins to snap or bind.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStep 5:\u003c\/strong\u003e Finally press the the dust cap firmly to the end of the bushing until it fully seats against the raised lip.
