Centric 106.08340 Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear

Centric Posi-Quiet Rear Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 106.08340 is built for rear brake service on select Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC trucks and SUVs. It uses an OE-style positive molding process to promote consistent friction density, even wear, and stable braking performance over the life of the pad.

The Posi-Quiet line focuses on fit, noise control, and break-in consistency. For rear brake pad replacement on a 2003-2006 Cadillac Escalade or a 2004-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe, this pad set is engineered with the details that matter in daily driving and towing use.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for rear disc brake applications
• Positive molded construction for uniform density and wear
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to reduce vibration-related noise
• Scorched friction surface to remove impurities and speed break-in
• Pad wear sensor included and prepared for wear sensor use
• Mounting hardware and pad shims included
• Asbestos-free friction formulation

Product Details

Centric designed the Posi-Quiet Extended Wear line to address common brake complaints such as noise and vibration. The backing plate and shim design help the pad sit correctly in the caliper, while the scorching process pre-burnishes the friction surface for a quicker bedding-in period. Part number 106.08340 is a rear disc brake pad set for applications including Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and GMC Yukon models listed in the fitment data. This part cross-references Wagner Brake SX975 for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Squealing or vibration during rear braking
• Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density
• Longer-than-expected break-in after pad replacement
• Reduced braking feel from worn rear pads
• Fitment concerns tied to caliper and backing plate alignment

Installation Notes

Verify rear axle, caliper type, and model-year details before installation, especially on Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 Quadrasteer or limited-slip axle applications. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and pad contact surfaces during service, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s bedding procedure after installation. Part number 106.08340 is listed for rear position only.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures Posi-Quiet pads using an OE-style positive molding process and adds scorching, shims, and fit-focused backing plate details to improve consistency and reduce noise. The friction material is asbestos free and the pad set is supplied with the hardware specified in the product data.
