Centric 106.13170 Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear

Centric Rear Brake Pads for Sprinter

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 106.13170 is built for rear brake service on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Dodge Sprinter applications. It uses a semi-metallic friction formula with OE-style positive molding to promote consistent density, even wear, and stable braking performance.

For Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 and Sprinter 3500 rear brake pad replacement, this Centric Posi-Quiet set focuses on fit, noise control, and predictable pedal feel. The 106.13170 part number is also listed under common interchange references for the same application.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for rear disc brake service
• Positive-molded friction material for consistent density across the pad
• Integrally molded friction attachment
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to reduce vibration-related noise
• Scorched friction surface to remove impurities and speed initial break-in
• Asbestos-free formulation
• Pad shims and mounting hardware included
• Prepared for pad wear sensor use

Product Details

Centric’s Posi-Quiet Extended Wear line is engineered with the same positive molding process used by original equipment suppliers. That process compresses the friction material under high pressure and bonds it to the backing plate, helping maintain uniform wear characteristics over the life of the pad. The backing plate and shim design are intended to improve caliper fitment and reduce brake noise and vibration.

This part number, 106.13170, is a rear disc brake pad set for 2007-2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, 2010-2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, and 2010-2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 single rear wheel setups, plus 2007-2009 Dodge Sprinter 2500 and 2007-2009 Dodge Sprinter 3500 single rear wheel setups. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Rear brake squeal from worn or uneven pads
• Brake vibration caused by pad movement in the caliper
• Reduced braking consistency from uneven friction wear
• Delayed pad break-in after replacement
• Noise complaints during low-speed or stop-and-go braking

Installation Notes

Verify rear axle configuration before ordering, especially on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 and Dodge Sprinter 3500 models that require single rear wheel fitment. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and pad contact surfaces before installation, and replace worn components as needed to support proper pad seating. Follow the vehicle service procedure for bedding-in new semi-metallic pads after installation.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures the Posi-Quiet line with OE-style production methods, including positive molding, scorched friction surfaces, and shim-backed pad construction to support consistent performance and noise control. The friction material is asbestos-free and supplied with application-specific hardware where applicable.
