Which is the newest technology in brake clips?
The photo below shows a QuietGlide™ brake clip — the newest technology in brake hardware — engineered by Carlson. On one side a layer of low-friction PTFE coating reduces brake pad drag and the other side is coated with vulcanized rubber to reduce noise.
What happens when you use old brake clips?
Well that’s what happens to your brakes when you replace your brake pads but reuse old clips. Brake clips are the shoelaces of your brakes. When you get new brake pads but don’t get new brake hardware, you’ve just increased the chances that the new brakes won’t work the way they should.
Why is it important to replace brake pads?
A few extra dollars spent on new hardware extends the life of the pads and reduces or eliminates noise at the same time. Plus, replacing brake hardware along with the pads gives customers like-new braking performance and helps stop comebacks.
When do you need new brake rotors for Mercedes Benz?
If you notice that your Benz’ brake pedal simply isn’t as responsive as it used to be, or if you hear high-pitched squealing or vibrations when you slow, it is definitely time to get your brake components checked.

Is it worth it to buy new brake clips?
Thanks to a 2016 study, engineers at Carlson don’t just believe new brake hardware saves money and reduces noise. They know it does.
Is it worth it to get new brake pads?
Getting new brake pads and reusing old brake clips still caused the brakes to squeak. However, using new clips virtually eliminated all noise in the sedan and lowered it 45% in the truck. A few extra dollars spent on new hardware extends the life of the pads and reduces or eliminates noise at the same time.
What happens when you use out spec brake clips?
In fact, 100 percent of the used clips failed to meet OEM specifications. That means that the pads no longer moved within the brake as intended, causing a drag on the rotors, premature wear, and reduced pad life. Plus, out of spec hardware can also diminish braking performance.
