Centric 106.09780 Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear

Overview

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 106.09780 is built for rear brake service on select Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen applications. It uses an OE-style positive molding process to promote consistent friction density, even wear, and stable braking performance.

This part number 106.09780 is part of Centric’s Posi-Quiet line, which focuses on fit, noise control, and break-in consistency for drivers servicing rear disc brakes on vehicles such as the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for balanced braking characteristics
• Integrally molded friction attachment for consistent pad construction
• Shims included to help reduce vibration-related noise
• Prepared for pad wear sensor applications
• Scorched friction surface to speed initial break-in
• Asbestos-free formulation
• Fits rear brake applications only

Detailed Description

Centric 106.09780 brake pads are manufactured with a positive molding process used by OE suppliers, where friction material is compressed under high pressure and bonded to the backing plate. That process helps maintain uniform density across the pad, which supports even wear and predictable pedal feel over the service life of the pads. Precision-cut or shaved backing plates and mechanically attached shims are used to improve caliper fit and reduce vibration noise. The pads are also scorched to remove impurities and shorten the break-in period. This rear disc brake pad set is a direct service option for Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg rear brake maintenance.

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise caused by pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density
• Long initial break-in after brake service
• Fitment concerns in rear caliper applications
• Wear sensor-equipped brake service requirements

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, model, and caliper configuration before installation. This part number 106.09780 is listed for rear applications, including a 4-piston caliper note on 2006-2009 Volkswagen Touareg models. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and sensor connections during service, and confirm pad wear sensor preparation matches the vehicle setup.

Quality Assurance

Centric’s Posi-Quiet line is engineered with OE-style manufacturing methods, mechanically attached shims, and a scorching process to support consistent performance and noise control. Part number 106.09780 is an asbestos-free semi-metallic brake pad set built for rear brake service on the listed applications.
