Centric 106.09690 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Centric Posi-Quiet Front Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 106.09690 is built for front brake service on select Nissan and INFINITI vehicles. It uses an OE-style positive molding process to promote consistent friction density, even wear, and stable braking performance over the life of the pad.

For drivers searching for front brake pads for a 2003-2011 Nissan Murano, 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima, or 2005-2006 Nissan Altima, this Centric Posi-Quiet set is engineered with fitment-focused details that address noise, vibration, and pad movement.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for front disc brake applications
• Positive molded construction for uniform material density
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to reduce brake noise and vibration
• Scorched friction surface to remove impurities and speed break-in
• Asbestos-free formulation
• Pad wear sensor included and prepared for pad wear sensor use
• Mounting hardware and pad shims included

Product Details

Centric Posi-Quiet brake pads are manufactured using a positive molding process similar to OE supplier methods, helping maintain consistent friction characteristics from the first stop through extended service life. The semi-metallic compound is paired with integrally molded friction attachment, mechanically attached shims, and carefully finished backing plates to support quiet operation and reliable pedal feel. Part number 106.09690 is also referenced as 7870D969, 2696902, D969, and PGD969M for the same application.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
