Centric 104.24040 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Centric Posi-Quiet Front Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 104.24040 is built for front brake service on select Chevrolet Express 2500, Chevrolet Express 3500, GMC Savana 2500, and GMC Savana 3500 models. This ultra-premium brake pad set uses a semi-metallic friction formula with OE-style positive molding for consistent density, even wear, and stable braking performance.

The Posi-Quiet line focuses on reducing common brake complaints such as noise and vibration. Precision-cut or shaved backing plates, mechanically attached shims, and a scorching process help improve pad fitment, reduce vibration-related noise, and speed up break-in. Part number 104.24040 is a direct-fit front brake pad option for drivers looking for a quieter, more consistent stop.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for dependable front braking performance
• Positive-molded construction for consistent friction density across the pad
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to help reduce brake noise
• Scorched friction surface to accelerate break-in
• Asbestos-free formulation
• Mounting hardware included
• Pad shims included

Product Details

Centric Posi-Quiet brake pads are engineered with the same positive molding process used by original equipment suppliers. That process compresses the friction material under high pressure and bonds it to the backing plate, helping maintain uniform density for more even wear over the service life of the pad. The semi-metallic compound is paired with OE-style details that support stable pedal feel and controlled stopping performance.

For Chevrolet Express 2500, Chevrolet Express 3500, GMC Savana 2500, and GMC Savana 3500 front brake service, 104.24040 provides a practical replacement choice when the goal is to address brake noise, vibration, and inconsistent pad wear. The Posi-Quiet product line is centered on fitment accuracy and reduced NVH, making it a strong option for fleet and daily-use vans that see frequent stop-and-go driving.

Common Brake Issues Addressed

• Brake squeal during light or moderate stops
• Vibration or chatter from pad movement in the caliper
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent friction density
• Extended break-in time after brake service
• Fitment concerns related to backing plate and shim design

Installation Notes

Verify front axle fitment before installation on 2021-2025 Chevrolet Express 2500, 2021-2025 Chevrolet Express 3500, 2021-2025 GMC Savana 2500, and 2021-2025 GMC Savana 3500 applications. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and slide components before installing new pads, and clean the caliper bracket contact points so the backing plates and shims seat correctly. Follow the vehicle service procedure for pad bedding after installation to help establish proper friction transfer.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures Posi-Quiet pads using OE-style positive molding and adds a scorching process to remove impurities from the friction material before service. The result is a brake pad set built around consistent material density, controlled wear, and reduced noise-related concerns.
