Product Details

Centric’s Posi Quiet Advanced Semi-Metallic line focuses on fit, friction consistency, and noise control. The pads are manufactured using a positive molding process similar to OE supplier methods, which helps maintain even friction material density across the pad surface. Centric also uses precision-cut or shaved backing plates and mechanically attached shims to improve caliper fitment and reduce vibration-related noise. A scorching process is applied to remove impurities and pre-burnish the friction material for a faster initial bedding period. This part number 104.60960 is listed for rear use on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, Sprinter 2500, Sprinter 3500, and Sprinter 3500XD applications shown below.

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

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Rear brake noise during stops
• Brake vibration caused by pad movement in the caliper
