DuraGo BP956MS Disc Brake Pad Set - Front
Durable Disc Brake Pads for Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Saturn Models
The DuraGo BP956MS disc brake pad set offers reliable braking performance for select Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Saturn vehicles. Designed with semi-metallic friction material and mechanical pad wear sensors, these brake pads provide consistent stopping power and safety.
- Semi-metallic friction material for balanced performance and durability
- Includes mechanical pad wear sensors for timely maintenance alerts
- Slotted design to reduce heat and improve brake pad life
- Chamfered edges and bonded friction material for noise reduction and secure fit
- Pad shims included to minimize vibration and brake noise
- Compatible with Chevrolet Cobalt, Pontiac G4, G5, Ion, and Saturn Pursuit models
Technical Specifications and Features
The DuraGo BP956MS brake pads feature an outer and inner pad friction material thickness of 11.9 mm (0.47 inches), ensuring adequate material for extended use. The pads have an overall thickness of 17.5 mm (0.69 inches) and a backing plate thickness of 5.6 mm (0.22 inches) made from iron for structural integrity. The slotted and chamfered design helps dissipate heat and reduce brake noise, while the bonded friction material attachment enhances pad durability. Mechanical pad wear sensors are included to alert drivers when replacement is necessary, helping maintain optimal braking performance. Although mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included, pad shims are provided to reduce vibration and noise during braking.
Compatible Vehicles and Applications
This disc brake pad set is compatible with the following vehicles:
- Chevrolet Cobalt
- Pontiac G4
- Pontiac G5
- Pontiac Ion
- Saturn Pursuit
These pads are designed to meet the braking needs of regular grade applications, providing dependable stopping power for daily driving conditions.
Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BP956MS Brake Pads
- Reduced braking efficiency due to worn or thin brake pads
- Brake noise and vibration caused by uneven pad wear or lack of shims
- Overheating and brake fade from insufficient heat dissipation
- Delayed maintenance alerts without pad wear sensors
- Premature pad failure from poor friction material bonding
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the DuraGo BP956MS brake pads, ensure the mechanical pad wear sensors are properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring. Since mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included, reuse existing hardware if in good condition or purchase replacements separately. Clean the caliper and rotor surfaces before installation to prevent uneven wear. The included pad shims should be installed to reduce noise and vibration. Verify pad orientation with chamfered edges facing the rotor for optimal performance.
Quality Assurance and Warranty
DuraGo brake pads are manufactured to meet industry standards for safety and performance. The semi-metallic friction material and iron backing plates provide durability under regular driving conditions. This product includes a mechanical pad wear sensor to help maintain timely brake service. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the product documentation or manufacturer.
