Detailed Description

The ADVICS Ultra-Premium OE Replacement line focuses on factory-style fit, controlled friction, and refined braking feel. AD2168 uses approved ceramic friction materials and integrally molded construction to help maintain consistent performance under everyday braking conditions. The rear disc brake pad set is designed for 2018-2022 Buick Encore rear applications and 2018-2022 Chevrolet Trax rear applications, including rear disc configurations on 2018-2020 Trax models. This part cross-references Bosch BC2168 and Anchor 9412 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Squealing or noisy rear brake operation
• Brake vibration caused by worn shims or uneven pad contact
• Reduced braking consistency from worn rear pads
• Excessive brake dust buildup from older friction material
• Rotor wear from pads that no longer maintain proper contact

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, model, and brake configuration before installation. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and sensor routing during service, and replace worn components as needed to restore proper braking performance. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedures and bedding recommendations after installation.

Quality Assurance

ADVICS manufactures this pad set under original equipment specifications to support consistent quality, quiet operation, and low dust performance. The included shims are designed to meet or exceed OE requirements for reduced noise and vibration control.
