Product Details

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 106.09630 is engineered for rear axle applications on the Dodge Dakota. The positive molding process compresses the friction material under high pressure and bonds it to the backing plate, helping maintain consistent contact characteristics over the life of the pad. This part cross-references Wagner Brake MX963 for the same application.

For buyers searching for rear brake pads for 2003-2004 Dodge Dakota or a 2002 Dodge Dakota rear disc brake pad set, this Centric part number 106.09630 provides an OE-style replacement option with noise-control features built into the pad design.

What It Helps Address

• Brake squeal caused by pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density
• Longer initial break-in after brake service
• Fitment issues related to backing plate shape
• Brake noise and vibration during rear brake operation

Installation Notes

Verify rear axle fitment before installation on 2002-2004 Dodge Dakota models. Inspect caliper condition, rotor surface, and slide hardware during service, and replace worn components as needed. Clean the caliper bracket and contact points before installing the pads, then follow the vehicle manufacturer’s bedding procedure after installation.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures the Posi-Quiet line using OE-style production methods and application-specific friction formulations. The pad design includes shims, fitment-focused backing plates, and a pre-scorched surface to support consistent performance and reduced noise in rear brake service.
