Product Line Details

Centric’s C-TEK line covers standard replacement brake and clutch components for import and domestic vehicles. This brake pad set follows that approach with a value-focused replacement design that uses globally sourced manufacturing to maintain consistent replacement-part availability and specification coverage.

Detailed Description

Centric 103.14440 is a ceramic front brake pad set with an outer and inner pad height of 59.200 mm, a width of 132.900 mm, and an overall thickness of 17.200 mm. The ceramic friction compound is paired with included shims and a wear sensor arrangement, making it a practical replacement for drivers servicing front brakes on 2011-2016 Kia Optima and 2010-2015 Hyundai Sonata models, plus 2009 Hyundai Sonata vehicles built from 12/09 onward. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Front brake pad wear on Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima vehicles
• Squeal or vibration concerns related to worn friction material
• Brake service needs when the wear sensor circuit is being replaced
• Restoration of normal pedal response after pad replacement
• Replacement of pads that no longer meet thickness specifications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor condition, caliper operation, and pad fitment before installation. This set is prepared for a wear sensor and includes shims, but mounting hardware is not included. Confirm the vehicle’s front brake configuration and match the pad dimensions and sensor setup to the original parts before assembly. For 2009 Hyundai Sonata applications, confirm the build date is from 12/09.

Centric positions C-TEK components as standard replacement parts for import and domestic vehicles, with manufacturing sourced globally to support consistent replacement quality and value. Part number 103.14440 is cataloged for direct application matching on the listed Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima front brake applications.
