Product Details

Centric’s Posi-Quiet Extended Wear line focuses on OE-style construction details that matter in real-world service. The integrally molded friction material is compressed under high pressure to help maintain uniform density, while the backing plate and shim design are used to improve fit and reduce vibration-related noise. The semi-metallic compound is paired with a pre-burnished surface treatment to shorten the normal bedding-in period after installation. Part number 106.12121 is a direct rear brake pad option for Toyota RAV4 models across the 2006-2018 range.

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

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Squealing or vibration from worn rear pads
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent friction material density
• Longer-than-normal break-in after brake service
• Poor caliper fitment from worn or incorrect pad hardware
• Brake noise related to pad movement in the caliper

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by model year before installation on your Toyota RAV4. Inspect rotors, caliper slides, and pad hardware during service, and replace any worn components that could affect braking feel or noise. Clean the caliper bracket contact points and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s bedding procedure after installing part number 106.12121.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures the Posi-Quiet line using an OE-style positive molding process and adds scorching to help remove impurities from the friction material before service. The pads are asbestos-free and built with shims and backing plate details intended to support consistent operation on the rear brake system of the Toyota RAV4.
