Today Carlson announced the availability of two new products in its portfolio of quality brake parts: the Low Frequency Damper and Copper Nickel Tubing.

Carlson Copper Nickel Tubing is designed to provide unparalleled flexibility, accommodating any brake repair while supplying strength and durability for the life of the vehicle. Based on independent laboratory testing, Carlson Copper Nickel Tubing outperforms the leading competitor in terms of wall thickness, tensile strength and burst strength-failure. This bendable, dependable brake tubing is available in 25-foot coils in two sizes (3/16” and 1/4” ) and can be easily installed in automotive, farm and industrial applications.

Carlson’s Low Frequency Damper brings a technology to the aftermarket that is already common on many Original Equipment European vehicles and since 2011 has become standard equipment on several U.S. vehicles, such as the Ford 150, Ford Edge, Ford Ranger, Chevy Volt and Chevy Cruze. The damper incorporates a silicone spring which effectively reduces low frequency brake noise, such as the moan and squeal noises which typically come from front and rear disc brakes when soft braking at low speeds. Carlson’s Low Frequency Damper can be retro-fitted to most pre-2011 vehicles that experience moans and squeals from the front and rear disc brakes, with installation taking only minutes. In contrast to the Carlson “Quiet Caliper Clips” and “Pad Shims,” which reduce high frequency brake noise, the Carlson Low Frequency Damper concentrates on removing the annoying moan and squeal of low frequency noises.

“Carlson is proud to provide its customers a full portfolio of solutions for brake hardware,” said Tony Drerup, President, Carlson Quality Brake Parts. “Our new Low Frequency Damper and Copper Nickel Tubing meet the high quality standards that our customers have come to expect from the Carlson brand.”

Many of the leading automotive radio shows recently welcomed experts from Carlson Quality Brake Parts to discuss the importance of replacing brake hardware. Notable radio programs included Under the Hood, Sam’s Garage, the C.A.R. Show, the Car Doctor and Bobby Likis Car Clinic.

“Many people don’t realize that brake hardware is often not changed when new brake rotors and pads are installed,” said Joe McIsaac of Carlson Quality Brake Parts. “Brake hardware is subject to the same heat, moisture and corrosion that wear out rotors and pads, and it’s important to make sure a new hardware kit is included when making a brake repair.”

A new hardware kit runs about $10 to $20, a small fraction of an overall brake replacement but an important element which helps ensure new pads and rotors will last for their recommended life and perform as they should. The radio hosts discussed how brake hardware, such as adjustment springs and abutment clips, often wear out but are not replaced which cause a variety of problems, the most common being brake noise. Brake drag, grinding, poor pedal feel and uneven pad wear are also common problems due to worn brake hardware.

“Most of the hardware is already removed when your pads and rotors are replaced, so it only takes a few extra minutes to install new hardware instead of replacing the old, worn parts,” said McIsaac. “It really is an easy, low cost way to protect your investment in new brake pads or shoes.”
