Why is Brake Hardware Important?

An often overlooked aspect of a brake job is the brake hardware. The Brake Report took a dive into this issue and found data that supports this theory. In the article, an independent lab determined that after 35,000 miles, the brake clips that were tested were outside of the OEM tolerances and would not perform as intended. This shows that even on the first brake job a vehicle receives, if the original hardware is left on, it can lead to additional noise and uneven pad wear. The Brake Report also references another study where Consumer Insights Inc found that only 20% of people receiving new brake pads replace the hardware. However, 80% of those same people would replace the hardware at the time of installation if their technician recommended it.

With this in mind, quality manufacturers have started to include hardware with their friction to optimize performance. Guanyida includes critical hardware like abutment clips, piston clips, spreaders, anti-rattle springs, and mechanical wear sensors where applicable.
Not only is it important to replace the hardware, it is also important to pick a manufacturer that uses high-quality hardware. If the hardware does not fit properly, or if a cheaper, low-quality hardware material is used, it can lead to premature wear, noise, and other issues with the braking system. Abutment hardware is critical for proper caliper operation. Guanyida has strict policies for the hardware that is provided with their friction. All hardware pieces are engineered and designed with quality in mind. The fit, form, and function is always the top priority for Guanyida hardware. During the development stage, it is key to remember that the hardware affects how various product types work together. This is a standard in the Guanyida hardware development process. It is critical that the whole braking system on a specific application works together for optimum performance.
