Ordered a part for my car. Ordered it based off the vin and the make and model. I then checked it with a store associate. Confirmed the system shows it’s the right part for my car.
Went to install it…wrong part.
Their system says parts are exact fit for your vehicle but its incorrect.

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.
