Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth W990 Brake Parts & Acc.
Will these brake parts fit my specific year model W990?
Most of our Kenworth W990 brake parts are designed to fit 2018 and newer models, as that's when the W990 was introduced. However, compatibility can vary between specific components. Always check the product description for year ranges, or contact our support team with your VIN number for exact fitment verification. Some universal parts may fit earlier Kenworth models like the W900, but we recommend confirming before ordering.
What's the difference between OEM and aftermarket brake components for my W990?
OEM parts are manufactured to exact Kenworth specifications and typically come with factory warranties. Aftermarket options often provide comparable quality at lower prices, with some offering enhanced features like improved heat dissipation or longer pad life. We carry both options - OEM parts guarantee perfect fit while quality aftermarket brands like Bendix and Meritor meet or exceed DOT standards. Consider your budget and whether you're under warranty when choosing.
How difficult is it to install brake chambers or slack adjusters myself?
Installing brake chambers and slack adjusters requires intermediate mechanical skills and proper tools including torque wrenches and measuring devices. While many owner-operators successfully perform these installations, improper adjustment can lead to brake failure. We recommend having adjustment specifications on hand and following DOT guidelines for stroke measurements. If you're not comfortable with brake system work, professional installation ensures safety and compliance.
Do you offer complete brake kit packages for the W990?
Yes, we stock several complete brake service kits that include pads, rotors, hardware, and springs specific to the W990. These kits simplify ordering and ensure all components work together properly. Popular options include standard duty kits for typical highway use and severe duty packages for heavy haul applications. Kits typically save 10-15% compared to buying parts individually and eliminate compatibility guesswork.
What are the signs I need to replace my W990 brake components?
Key indicators include brake pad thickness below 1/4 inch, visible cracks or heat damage on rotors, air leaks from chambers, or slack adjusters that won't maintain proper adjustment. Also watch for increased stopping distances, pulling during braking, or unusual noises. Federal regulations require minimum brake lining thickness, so regular inspections are essential. When replacing pads, always inspect rotors, hardware, and chambers for wear to ensure complete brake system safety.
