Product Details

Akebono developed its ProACT line for drivers who want a ceramic brake pad set with OE-style fitment and refined friction characteristics. For Mazda CX-5 rear brake replacement, ACT1846 is listed for 2016-2025 model years and supports two fitment groups: 2016-2020 Mazda CX-5 rear and 2021-2025 Mazda CX-5 rear. This makes ACT1846 a direct search match for rear brake pad replacement on Mazda CX-5 vehicles across multiple model years.

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect rotors, caliper condition, and pad contact surfaces during service, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake bedding procedure after installation. Use the part number ACT1846 when verifying catalog fitment.
