This product line focuses on delivering consistent friction characteristics and durability, making it suitable for demanding driving conditions. The 604993 part number is part of this line, ensuring compatibility and quality for Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details and Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese disc brake pads feature a semi-metallic friction material composition, which offers a balance between braking efficiency and pad longevity. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and reduce brake fade during extended use. Both the inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 16.60 mm, contributing to longer service intervals. The steel backing plate provides strength and stability, with the friction material integrally molded to ensure secure attachment. Chamfered edges help reduce noise and vibration, enhancing overall driving comfort. While the pads are prepared for a wear sensor, the sensor itself is not included. Mounting hardware, pad shims, abutment clips, and brake lubricant are also not included in this set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or damaged disc brake pads on Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing brake noise and vibration issues with chamfered edges and slotted design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproving braking performance and heat management during heavy or frequent braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsuring compliance with safety standards through ECE-R90 certification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintaining consistent pad thickness for reliable stopping power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the ATE Original Disc Brake Pads 604993, ensure the brake system is clean and free of debris.
