Product Details

ATE Original Disc Brake Pads are part of ATE’s Original Disc Brake Pads line, which is built around a broad range of pad compounds for different vehicle braking requirements. ATE focuses on friction consistency and reduced brake noise through pad construction that uses underlayers and noise-damping sheets. For this application, the pad set is engineered for front brake use on Mercedes-Benz 300D, Mercedes-Benz 300TD, and Mercedes-Benz 300SD models listed below.

This part cross-references Wagner Brake MX145 and ZX145 for the same application. Part number 609028 also cross-references OE-style numbers used in the same fitment family.

What This Part Helps Address

• Front brake pad wear on Mercedes-Benz 300D, 300TD, or 300SD
• Brake noise from worn or uneven pad friction surfaces
• Reduced braking consistency from aged front pads
• Need for an ECE-R90 certified replacement pad set
• Service replacement for vehicles prepared for a pad wear sensor

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 1980-1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D, front
• Fits 1980-1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TD, front
• Fits 1980 Mercedes-Benz 300SD, front
• Inspect rotors, caliper condition, and pad contact surfaces before installation
• Verify pad wear sensor readiness and confirm fitment by part number before service
• Because mounting hardware, shims, and lubricant are not included, reuse or replace those items as needed during brake service

Quality Assurance

ATE states that its brake pads are validated through independent testing for friction performance and are manufactured to meet ECE-R90 certification requirements. The Original Disc Brake Pads line is also engineered to reduce brake noise through pad construction details intended to limit vibration during braking.
