Centric 105.21950 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic Front Brake Pads

Centric Posi Quiet Advanced Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Sets are built for consistent braking feel, even wear, and reduced noise at the front axle. Part number 105.21950 uses a ceramic friction formula with integrally molded attachment and included pad shims for a precise fit in the caliper.

Compatible with Tesla 3 front brake service on 2017-2018 models and Tesla 3 front brake service on 2019-2022 models, as well as Tesla Y front brake service on 2020-2021 models, this pad set is a direct choice for drivers looking for a quiet Tesla brake pad replacement. The Centric Posi Quiet Advanced Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Sets line focuses on OE-style manufacturing details that support stable performance over the life of the pad.

Key Features

• Positive molding process for consistent friction density
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to reduce vibration-related noise
• Scorched friction surface to accelerate break-in
• Asbestos-free friction formulation
• Part number 105.21950

Product Details

Centric engineered the Posi Quiet Advanced Ceramic line to address common brake pad complaints such as noise, vibration, and uneven wear. The positive molding process compresses the friction material under high pressure so the pad maintains uniform density, while the backing plate and shim design help the pad seat correctly in the caliper. A scorching process is applied to remove impurities and pre-burnish the friction surface, which helps shorten the initial bedding period. For Tesla 3 and Tesla Y front brake applications, 105.21950 provides a focused replacement option built around fitment accuracy and consistent pedal response.

Common Brake Issues This Part Can Help Address

• Squealing or brake noise during stops
• Brake vibration felt through the pedal or steering wheel
• Uneven pad wear across the friction surface
• Longer-than-expected break-in after pad replacement
• Poor caliper fitment from worn or inconsistent pad backing plates

Installation Notes and Tips

• Confirm front axle fitment before ordering; this part is listed for front applications only.
• Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and slide pins before installing new pads.
• Clean the caliper bracket and pad contact points to support proper pad movement.
• Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s bedding procedure after installation.
• Use the included shims as supplied to help control noise and vibration.
