• Integrally molded friction attachment for stable pad construction
• 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 speed initial pad break-in
• Pad wear sensor included and prepared for wear sensor use
• Mounting hardware and pad shims included

Product Details

Centric uses an OE-style positive molding process on the Posi-Quiet Extended Wear series to compress the friction material under high pressure and bond it to the backing plate. That process helps maintain uniform density, which supports consistent wear and braking feel over the life of the pad. The semi-metallic formulation is asbestos free and paired with shims and backing plate finishing details that address common noise and vibration concerns.

Part number 106.09741 is listed for rear fitment on 2002-2014 Chevrolet Express 1500, 2002-2014 GMC Savana 1500, 2002-2006 Cadillac Escalade, 2002-2006 Cadillac Escalade EXT, 2002-2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500, 2002-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2002-2006 GMC Yukon, and 2002-2006 GMC Yukon XL 1500. This part cross-references Wagner Brake SX974A for the same application.

Common Brake Issues This Part Can Address

• Rear brake noise during stops
• Brake vibration caused by pad movement in the caliper
• Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density
• Delayed pad bedding after brake service
• Worn rear pads on Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, or Cadillac Escalade applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear axle and caliper configuration before installation, especially on 2002 applications with Akebono calipers and the listed 2nd design or limited slip axle notes. Inspect rotors, caliper slides, and hardware surfaces before installing the new pads. Use proper brake service procedures and confirm the wear sensor connection where equipped.

Quality Assurance
