Detailed Description

Akebono ACT2179 is a front disc brake pad set engineered for Ram 1500 and select Jeep Wagoneer-family vehicles. The ceramic friction compound is paired with an integrally molded backing attachment to support stable pad construction, while the included mechanical wear sensor and abutment clips address common replacement requirements on these applications. This part cross-references Bosch BC2179 and Wagner Brake SX2179 for the same application.

Use ACT2179 when replacing front brake pads on 2019-2025 Ram 1500 models with abutment clips, or on 2022-2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Wagoneer models, plus 2023-2024 Grand Wagoneer L and Wagoneer L models, when brake code BR2 or BR3 is specified. The part number ACT2179 is also a useful reference when verifying front brake pad fitment for these vehicles.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Front brake pad wear indicator warning
• Squealing or grinding from worn pads
• Reduced braking performance from depleted friction material
• Brake service on Ram 1500, Grand Wagoneer, Wagoneer, or L models
• Need for a ceramic front pad set with sensor and clips

Installation Notes

Confirm brake code BR2 or BR3 on applicable Jeep models before ordering. Verify front axle fitment, compare the old pad shape to FMSI 9424-D2179, and inspect rotors, calipers, and guide hardware during service. Brake lubricant is not included, and ECE-R90 certification is not listed for this part.

Quality Assurance

Akebono ProACT Ultra Premium Ceramic Pad products are positioned as premium ceramic replacement brake components for direct-fit service on listed applications. Review vehicle brake code, pad shape, and sensor style before installation to confirm the correct ACT2179 match.
