CAUTION:
Whenever a pad must be replaced, replace both
LH and RH wheel pads as a set to prevent the
vehicle from pulling to one side when braking. If there is a significant difference in the
thicknesses of the pads on the left and right
sides, check the sliding condition of the piston
and slide pins.
