Product Line Details

The Centric Posi-Quiet line is engineered with OE-style manufacturing methods, including positive molding and precision backing plate preparation. Centric also applies a scorching process to remove impurities from the friction material and speed up the initial break-in period. The result is a brake pad set focused on even wear, stable pedal feel, and reduced noise and vibration.

Part number 106.09240 is a practical choice for drivers servicing front brakes on Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai Sonata, and Kia Optima models, as well as other listed Kia and Hyundai applications.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Squealing or vibration from worn front brake pads
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent friction material density
• Reduced braking response from thin or glazed pads
• Brake noise related to pad movement in the caliper
• Delayed break-in after pad replacement

Installation Notes

Verify rotor condition, caliper hardware, and sensor routing before installation. This set includes pad shims and mounting hardware, and the pad wear sensor is included where applicable. Confirm front-position fitment and match the vehicle build date when required, especially for 2003-2004 Hyundai Sonata and 2009 Hyundai Sonata applications with production-date notes.
