FAQs

What vehicles is this Textar Accessory Kit compatible with?

This kit (82555500) is designed for Toyota Prius models, specifically the (_W3_) Hatchback variants from 2008-2016 (1.8 Hybrid and 1.8 Plug-in Hybrid engines), provided they are equipped with an Akebono brake system. It is crucial to verify fitment and measurements against your vehicle's specifications before purchase.

Does this kit include the brake pads themselves?

No, this is an accessory kit. It contains the necessary hardware (springs, clips, shims, etc.) required when replacing the rear disc brake pads. You will need to purchase the brake pads separately.

Why is it important to replace brake pad hardware?

Brake pad hardware, such as clips and springs, can wear out or lose tension over time. Replacing them with a new kit ensures proper pad function, reduces the risk of brake noise (squealing or rattling), and helps maintain even pad wear, contributing to overall braking performance and safety.

What does 'OE-quality standards' mean?

OE-quality standards mean that the product is manufactured to meet or exceed the specifications set by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for fit, form, and function. This ensures reliable performance and compatibility with your vehicle's braking system.

How many pieces are included in this kit?

The kit contains 13 parts, providing a complete set of accessory hardware for the rear disc brake pads.

What is the 'Brake System' listed as 'Akebono'?

Akebono is a manufacturer of braking systems. This kit is specifically designed to work with rear brake calipers and components manufactured by Akebono for the compatible Toyota Prius models. You must ensure your vehicle uses this specific brake system for the kit to fit correctly.

Troubleshooting

Brake noise (squealing or rattling) after installation.

Ensure all hardware from the kit was installed correctly according to the vehicle's service manual. Confirm that the correct brake pads for the Akebono system were used. Re-check that the anti-rattle clips are properly seated.

Brake pads feel loose or don't seat properly.

Verify that the correct accessory kit was purchased for the specific vehicle and brake system. Ensure no parts were omitted during installation and that all clips and springs are engaged correctly.

Difficulty installing the hardware.

Double-check the compatibility with your vehicle's brake system. Ensure you are using the correct hardware for the corresponding caliper part. Refer to a vehicle-specific service manual for correct placement and method.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Verification: Before purchasing, it is imperative to confirm that this kit is compatible with your specific vehicle. Check the year, make, model, and engine type of your Toyota Prius. Pay close attention to the OE-quality standards and the specified brake system (Akebono). The product description explicitly states: "IMPORTANT: Please verify fitment and measurements before purchasing. Check your vehicle's specifications match the compatibility list below." Variations can exist even within the same model year.

Installation: This accessory kit is intended to be installed alongside new brake pads on the rear of your vehicle. It contains essential hardware that typically needs replacement whenever brake pads are serviced. Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or individual experienced with automotive brake systems. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for detailed instructions on brake pad and hardware replacement.

Care: As these are metal and rubber components of the braking system, they require no specific cleaning or maintenance beyond what is standard for brake systems. Ensure they are kept clean and free from excessive dirt or debris during installation. Inspect all components in the kit for any damage or defects prior to installation.
