• Squeal or noise from worn ceramic or semi-metallic pads
• Uneven braking feel caused by aged friction material
• Reduced stopping consistency during routine street driving
• Brake service needs on select GM front disc brake systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify year, make, model, and front position before ordering. Compare the existing pad shape and hardware interface to confirm ACT673 match-up for your vehicle. Clean the caliper bracket and rotor contact surfaces during brake service, and inspect rotors, calipers, and brake fluid condition before installation. For best results, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedure and perform a proper break-in after installation.
