Centric 104.06030 Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear

Centric Posi-Quiet Rear Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 104.06030 is built for rear brake service on a wide range of Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler applications. It uses an OE-style positive molding process to help maintain consistent friction density, even wear, and stable pedal feel over the life of the pad.

The Posi-Quiet line focuses on reducing brake noise and vibration with precision-cut or shaved backing plates, mechanically attached shims, and a scorching process that helps remove impurities and speeds initial break-in. This rear brake pad set is a practical choice for drivers looking for a direct replacement on vehicles such as Mercedes-Benz E320, SL500, and Chrysler Crossfire rear brake applications.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Brake squeal from worn rear pads
• Vibration or chatter during braking
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent friction material density
• Reduced braking response from worn rear disc pads
• Noise related to pad movement in the caliper

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify caliper style and vehicle-specific notes before installation, especially on applications with special fitment details such as 2 pad pin caliper, 4 piston front caliper, armored, or chassis-specific references. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and guide components before installing new rear pads. Proper bedding-in after installation helps the friction material seat evenly and supports stable braking performance.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures Posi-Quiet pads using an OE-style positive molding process and adds scorching, shims, and backing plate finishing steps to improve consistency and reduce noise. The friction material is asbestos free and built for dependable rear brake service across the listed Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler applications.
