Product Details

Akebono ACT691 is engineered for drivers who want OE-style braking behavior with ceramic pad construction. Akebono has extensive experience in ceramic brake technology and supplies brake solutions across global vehicle platforms, with a strong focus on noise, vibration, and harshness control. This makes the ACT691 a practical choice for maintaining smooth, quiet braking on daily-driven vehicles such as the Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan X-Trail, INFINITI QX4, and INFINITI Q45.

This part cross-references Bosch BC855 and Wagner Brake QC691 for the same application.
