Detailed Product Overview
DuraGo BP709MS is engineered as a rear brake pad replacement for select Cadillac, Saab, and Saturn applications, including rear brake service on the Cadillac Catera, Saab 900, Saab 9-3, Saturn LS, Saturn LS2, Saturn LW2, Saturn LW300, and Saturn L300. The pad design measures 2.42 inches high, 2.43 inches wide, and 0.66 inches overall thickness, with a 0.5-inch friction material thickness and 0.16-inch plate thickness. The semi-metallic compound is independently tested for wear and noise squeal protocols, and the pad shape includes slotted faces and chamfered edges to support predictable braking response.
This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes PGD709M for the same application. DuraGo BP709MS also aligns with interchange references including D709MS and PD709.
Common Brake Issues It Can Address
- Squealing or brake noise from worn rear pads
- Reduced braking response from thin or glazed friction material
- Uneven pad wear on rear disc brake systems
- Vibration or harshness caused by aged brake pad surfaces
- Loss of consistent pedal feel during routine driving
Installation Notes and Tips
Inspect rotors, calipers, and slide hardware before installation, and replace any worn components as needed. Clean the caliper bracket and pad contact points thoroughly so the chamfered, slotted pads seat correctly. Because mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included, verify that your existing hardware is serviceable before beginning the brake job. Confirm rear fitment by vehicle year, make, model, and brake configuration before ordering.
Quality Assurance
DuraGo manufactures brake pads in ISO/TS 16949 certified facilities and uses friction materials developed for fit and function across a wide range of vehicles. The BP709MS brake pad formula is tested for wear and noise squeal performance to support reliable rear brake service on compatible Cadillac Catera, Saab 9-3, Saab 900, and Saturn applications.
