The Importance of FMSI Standards for Product Compatibility
When it comes to brake parts, compatibility and precise fitment are crucial. One small discrepancy in a brake pad or rotor can lead to performance issues, safety risks, and increased wear. That’s where FMSI standards come in. These standards ensure compatibility across all brake system components, emphasizing the importance of each part in maintaining safety and performance. For auto shop workers, purchasing groups, and warehouse distributors, understanding FMSI (Friction Materials Standards Institute) codes ensures accurate part selection and optimal performance. 1. What Are FMSI Standards? The Friction Materials Standards Institute (FMSI) was established to create a universal identification system for […]
The Horror of Remanufactured Calipers: Why Bad Threads Cost You Time & Money
Understanding Brake Caliper Issues Brake caliper issues can be a serious problem for vehicle owners, as they can lead to reduced braking performance and increased risk of accidents. The brake caliper is a critical component of the braking system, responsible for housing the brake pads and applying pressure to the brake rotor to slow or stop the vehicle. Issues with the brake caliper can arise from worn-out brake pads, damaged brake lines, or faulty brake fluid. Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify potential problems before they become major issues. Are You Facing the Nightmare of Poor Threading? Have you […]
