This genuine Nissan front brake caliper shim kit is essential hardware for the front axle of Thai-built Navara D40 models. The kit is fitted between the front brake pads and the caliper piston/housing to ensure the braking system operates smoothly and quietly, as intended from the factory. It contains all the required anti-squeal shims and pad retainer plates for a complete service of both front calipers.
Brake caliper shims are a critical service item that should be replaced during any front brake pad change. If the original shims are worn, corroded, or missing, it can lead to persistent brake squeal, grinding noises, and vibration through the brake pedal. This not only compromises braking performance but can also cause uneven and premature wear on new brake pads and rotors. Using a genuine Nissan kit restores original performance and prevents these issues.
Replacing these shims is typically done as part of a front brake pad and rotor service. For an experienced home mechanic or any professional workshop, it is a straightforward task requiring basic brake service tools. To complete the job correctly, this shim kit should be installed with new front brake pads and rotors. You may also require fresh brake fluid and caliper slide pin grease.
