Centric Posi-Quiet Front Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets are built for the front brakes on 2001-2007 Toyota Highlander models. Part number 106.08840 uses a semi-metallic friction formula with included shims, mounting hardware, and a pad wear sensor for a direct-service brake repair.

The Posi-Quiet line focuses on OE-style manufacturing details, including positive molding for consistent friction density, integrally molded friction attachment, and pre-burnished scorching to speed up break-in. For Toyota Highlander front brake pad replacement, 106.08840 is built to address wear, vibration, and noise concerns with a service-ready pad set.

Product Line Details

Centric Posi-Quiet brake pads are made with a positive molding process that compresses the friction material under high pressure for consistent density across the pad. The line also uses precision-cut or shaved backing plates and mechanically attached shims to improve fitment in the caliper and reduce vibration-related noise. A scorching process helps remove impurities and pre-burnish the pad surface for a quicker break-in.

This part cross-references Mevotech Duraflex DX884 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Helps Address

• Front brake pad wear on a 2001-2007 Toyota Highlander
• Brake noise caused by pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density
• Longer break-in time after brake service
• Brake vibration related to backing plate or shim fitment

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor condition, caliper operation, and hardware condition before installation. Replace pads as an axle set on the front of the vehicle, and confirm the wear sensor connection matches the original setup. Clean the caliper bracket and contact points so the shims and backing plates seat correctly.

For 2001-2007 Toyota Highlander front brake service, part number 106.08840 includes the hardware and shims needed for installation where applicable. Follow the vehicle service procedure for pad bedding after installation.
