Centric 106.04100 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Centric Posi-Quiet Front Brake Pads

Centric 106.04100 is a front disc brake pad set for select Toyota applications, including the Toyota Pickup and Toyota 4Runner. Built as part of the Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets line, it combines OE-style manufacturing methods with fit-focused details for consistent braking performance.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for front disc brake service
• Positive molding process for uniform friction density across each pad
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to help reduce brake noise and vibration
• Scorched friction surface to speed initial break-in
• Includes pad wear sensor, pad shims, and mounting hardware where applicable
• 4-pad set with 1 wear sensor
• Asbestos-free friction formulation

Product Details

The Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets line is built around OE-style positive molding, which compresses the friction material under high pressure and bonds it to the backing plate. That process helps maintain consistent density, even wear, and stable pedal feel over the life of the pad. Centric also uses a scorching process to remove impurities and pre-burnish the friction surface, which helps shorten the initial bedding period. This Centric 106.04100 brake pad set is a direct-fit front brake solution for 1988-1995 Toyota Pickup and 1988-1991 Toyota 4Runner front brake service, including 1991 Toyota 4Runner front applications through 05/91.

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

What It Helps Address

• Brake squeal caused by pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density
• Longer break-in time after pad replacement
• Fitment issues related to backing plate shape or shim design
• Front brake service needs on Toyota Pickup and Toyota 4Runner models

Installation Notes

Fits 1988-1995 Toyota Pickup, front. Fits 1988-1990 Toyota 4Runner, front. Fits 1991 Toyota 4Runner, front, through 05/91. Verify rotor condition, caliper hardware, and sensor routing before installation. Use the included shims and wear sensor provisions as specified for the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures the Posi-Quiet line using OE-style positive molding and application-specific pad details to support consistent fit and performance. The friction material is asbestos-free, and the pads are scorched during production to help remove impurities and improve initial bedding.
