Even though one item was ordered incorrectly, I kept all and purchased the other needed filter too. All can be used in the future unless WWIII intervenes. I like the prices and sales and coupon benefits at Advance Auto.

Good parts selection in stock. Counter folks are generally friendly. If you get the wrong parts person though you can end up having to do a lot of their job for them cause some of them don’t know how to cross reference anything.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
