Centric 104.07861 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front or Rear

Overview

Centric Posi-Quiet Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 104.07861 is built for heavy-duty brake applications that require consistent friction, controlled wear, and reduced noise. It uses a semi-metallic friction formula with integrally molded attachment and includes shims and hardware where applicable.

Compatible With Freightliner, Ford, International, Kenworth, Peterbilt, and other commercial and motorhome platforms, this brake pad set is listed for front and rear applications across a wide range of chassis and medium-duty vehicles. Part number 104.07861 is also referenced as 104.07861 for catalog matching.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for dependable braking performance.
• Positive molding process for consistent density across the pad.
• Integrally molded friction attachment for stable construction.
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates and mechanically attached shims to reduce vibration noise.
• Scorched friction surface to speed initial break-in.
• Pad shims included; mounting hardware included where applicable.
• Asbestos-free formulation.

Product Details

The Centric Posi-Quiet line is engineered using an OE-style positive molding process that compresses the friction material under high pressure and bonds it to the backing plate. That process helps maintain even density, which supports uniform wear and consistent pedal feel over the service life of the pads. The Posi-Quiet design also focuses on noise control through backing plate preparation and shim attachment, while the scorching process removes impurities and preconditions the friction surface for faster bedding.

Fitment coverage includes Fits 2017-2020 Ford F-53 Motorhome Chassis, front; Fits 2003-2016 Freightliner M2 106, front and rear; and Fits 2008-2016 Kenworth T370, front and rear. This part number 104.07861 is also listed for multiple IC Corporation, International, Peterbilt, and Freightliner applications with caliper-specific notes.

Common Brake Issues Addressed

• Brake noise from pad vibration.
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent friction density.
• Longer break-in time after pad replacement.
• Fitment concerns on caliper-specific commercial brake applications.
• Reduced braking consistency in demanding duty cycles.

Installation Notes

Verify the caliper type, axle position, and application notes before ordering, especially on commercial chassis and motorhome platforms. This pad set is listed for both front and rear positions depending on vehicle application, and some fitments require specific caliper dimensions such as 73mm Bosch or 66mm calipers. Follow standard brake service procedures and confirm rotor condition before installation.

Quality Assurance

Centric states that Posi-Quiet pads are produced with OE-supplier-style positive molding and are asbestos free. The line also uses backing plate preparation, mechanically attached shims, and scorching to support consistent performance and noise control. Part number 104.07861 cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
