Brakes
Noise is usually the signal that causes your customer to come in and have the brakes and corner checked. While brake pads are usually seen as the culprit, they may not realize that hardware and rotors wear just like pads and excessive corrosion can also cause premature caliper failure. Whether replacing brake pads, rotors or calipers, Duralast parts are OE or better quality at every tier.
Duralast brake pads are an OES replacement for light vehicle applications, and feature OES-type friction material and slots and chamfers as required. The Duralast Gold brake pad line features factory-matched design for application-specific OE form, fit & function. From friction formulation to a powder-coated backing plate to application-specific stainless steel hardware, Duralast Gold pads deliver “like new” performance expectations.
No matter the make or model, Duralast and Duralast Gold brake pads are readymade to install and meet or exceed OE quality, ensuring a swift corner repair and a safer vehicle.
Chassis
Weak chassis parts put the driver and vehicle at risk, so it’s important to inspect them while performing routine maintenance repairs.
All Duralast chassis parts are designed to match or exceed OE at a better-than-OE price for a worry-free, efficient installation all while keeping your shop profitable. They are made with heavy-gauge steel and also include hardware and fully serviceable grease fittings where applicable. All parts and components are torture tested to ensure they meet or exceed the OE performance.
For tougher truck and SUV applications that demand more, Duralast Gold chassis parts feature induction-hardened studs to reduce the risk of failure, an integrated bearing and larger ball with greater surface area to better absorb impacts, grease channels to increase flow throughout the joint, premium corrosion-resistant coatings, and pre-installed grease fittings. Rigorous testing ensures superior durability is built into every Duralast Gold chassis part.
Innovative designs and premium quality make Duralast and Duralast Gold chassis parts a profitable investment to help ensure quick quality repairs to the backbone of any corner.
