Common Applications and Issues Addressed

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before beginning brake service. Remove the old brake pads and clean the caliper assembly thoroughly. Use the included mounting hardware and pad shims to install the new Centric PQ PRO Disc Brake Pad Set 500.16400, ensuring proper alignment and fit. Since the pads are prepared for a wear sensor, verify sensor compatibility if your Dodge Dart is equipped with one. After installation, perform a brake system test to confirm proper operation and bedding of the new pads.
