  2. Apply grease on the pad retainer contact surface of the caliper.
  3. Install the two new brake pad retainers packaged with the new brake pads onto the caliper carrier and apply grease on the pad retainers (see Photo 2).
    CAUTION: Do not apply grease onto the friction surfaces of the brake pads.
  4. Install two new brake pads and complete assembly of all components in the reverse order of removal.
    NOTE: Make sure to install the pad with the wear indicator on the inside position.
  5. Repeat the above procedure for the other side.

Roll bars, also known as sway bars or anti-roll bars, are responsible for controlling body roll when a vehicle goes around a turn. How do they do this? A roll bar is basically a long spring that connects both sides of the suspension across an axle. When a vehicle goes around a turn, the weight will transfer from one side to the other, compressing the outside suspension. The roll bar applies force to the inside suspension and reduces the amount the body can roll (Figure 1).
