Installation & Application Notes

Always replace brakes in axle sets. Bed-in new brake pads with 8–10 moderate stops from 40 km/h. Check disc runout with a dial gauge — maximum 0.1 mm. Inspect caliper slides and pistons when replacing pads.

Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.

Failure Symptoms

Initial signs of a failing Z-cam may include a noticeable decrease in braking power or a tendency for the brakes to drag. If ignored, this can lead to uneven shoe wear and reduced braking efficiency, increasing the risk of insufficient stopping capability.

Installation Tip

Ensure the S-camshaft splines are clean and lubricated before sliding the Z-cam into place to prevent binding. Do not force the cam onto the shaft; it should fit smoothly.

Service Note

Inspect the S-camshaft, rollers, and brake shoe return springs for wear or damage when replacing the Z-cam.
