Centric Posi-Quiet Rear Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 104.17610 is built for rear brake service on select Audi and Volkswagen models. It uses a positive molding process to help keep friction density consistent, while precision-cut or shaved backing plates and mechanically attached shims are used to reduce pad vibration and brake noise.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for rear disc brake applications
• Positive molded construction for consistent friction density and wear
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to help reduce noise and vibration
• Scorched friction surface to remove impurities and speed break-in
• Asbestos-free formulation
• Mounting hardware included
• Pad shims included
• Prepared for vehicles without a pad wear sensor

Product Details

The Centric Posi-Quiet line is focused on controlled braking performance and reduced noise in everyday driving. This rear disc brake pad set uses an integrally molded friction attachment and semi-metallic compound to deliver stable pedal feel across the service life of the pad. The scorching process pre-burnishes the friction surface, which helps shorten the initial bedding period after installation. Part number 104.17610 is a direct-fit rear brake pad option for many Audi Q3, A3, S3, TT Quattro, and Volkswagen Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport, Arteon, GTI, Jetta, Tiguan, Taos, e-Golf, Golf, Golf R, and Teramont applications.

This part cross-references Brembo P85124 for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Brake squeal from worn or unstable rear pads
• Vibration or chatter during light to moderate braking
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent friction density
• Extended break-in time after brake service
• Reduced braking response from worn rear disc pads

Installation Notes

Verify rear brake code, rotor size, and caliper configuration before ordering, especially on Audi Q3 and Volkswagen models with application-specific brake codes or rotor notes. Confirm pad shape against the existing hardware and inspect rotors, caliper slides, and guide pins during service. Use the included shims and hardware during installation, and follow proper bedding procedures after the pads are installed.
