Both pads have an overall thickness of 20.1 mm (0.79 inches) and a width of 158.8 mm (6.25 inches), designed to match the original equipment specifications for Dodge Dakota models. The pads include mechanical wear sensors to alert drivers when replacement is necessary, helping maintain safe braking performance. Chamfered edges reduce noise and improve pad bedding, while the slotted design aids in debris removal and heat management during braking. The friction material is bonded securely to iron backing plates with a thickness of 6.2 mm (0.24 inches), providing durability and resistance to warping under stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake pad set is compatible with Dodge Dakota models, making it a suitable replacement for worn or damaged front brake pads.
