Product Line Details

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear brake pads are manufactured using an OE-style molding process that compresses the friction material under high pressure before bonding it to the backing plate. Centric also uses precision-cut or shaved backing plates, mechanically attached shims, and a scorching process to remove impurities and pre-burnish the pad surface for faster break-in. The friction material is asbestos free.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 2003-2004 Dodge Dakota, front.

This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes PGD962M and Wagner Brake MX962 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Front brake pad replacement for worn friction material
• Noise or vibration complaints during braking
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent pad density
• Brake service when the wear sensor circuit is being addressed
• Routine maintenance on a 2003-2004 Dodge Dakota front brake system

Installation Notes and Quality

Verify caliper, rotor, and hardware condition before installation. Clean the caliper bracket contact points, confirm sensor routing, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s break-in procedure after installation. Centric’s positive molding process, attached shims, and scorching step are used to support consistent performance and reduced noise over the life of the pad.
