Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets are built for front brake service on select Jeep Grand Cherokee applications. Part number 106.09450 combines semi-metallic friction, OE-style positive molding, and noise-control details for consistent braking performance on the road.

For 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee front brake pad replacement, this Centric Posi-Quiet set is engineered to deliver stable friction, proper caliper fitment, and reduced vibration-related noise. It is a direct-fit option for vehicles listed with Akebono calipers on 1999-2002 models and standard front fitment on 2003-2004 models.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for dependable stopping performance
• Positive-molded friction material for consistent density and wear
• Integrally molded friction attachment for secure bond to the backing plate
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates to support proper caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to help reduce brake noise and vibration
• 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 where applicable

Product Details

The Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear line focuses on OE-style construction and controlled friction characteristics. Positive molding compresses the friction material under high pressure so density stays uniform across the pad, which supports even wear and predictable pedal feel. Centric also adds a scorching process to pre-burnish the friction surface and help shorten the initial break-in period. This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes EHT945H and Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 for the same application.

Fits 1999-2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee, front with Akebono caliper; cast# 4802. Fits 2003-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, front. Part number 106.09450 is a practical choice for Jeep Grand Cherokee front brake pad replacement when you want OE-style fitment details and semi-metallic friction.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Front brake squeal caused by pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density
• Brake pulsation feel related to poor pad contact
• Extended break-in time after pad replacement
• Fitment issues at the caliper from incorrect backing plate geometry

Installation Notes

Verify caliper type before installation, especially on 1999-2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee front brake applications with Akebono calipers and cast number 4802. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and guide pins before fitting the pads. Use the included shims and hardware as specified for the application, and follow the vehicle service procedure for bedding-in new pads after installation.
