Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This part is designed for select models within the Hyundai (Tucson, Kona) and Kia (Sportage, Niro) lineups utilizing the Mando braking architecture. Verify your VIN against the FDB5039 compatibility list before ordering.
Installation: Ensure your vehicle is properly supported on jack stands. Clean the brake caliper carrier thoroughly before installing the new pads to ensure free movement. Always use high-temperature brake grease on the contact points of the caliper and pad backing plates.
Care: To extend the life of your brake pads, avoid heavy, prolonged braking on long descents. Regularly inspect the brake fluid levels and ensure the dust boots on the caliper pins are intact to prevent seizing.
