Both inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 10.9 mm (0.43 inches) and an overall thickness of 17 mm (0.67 inches), ensuring durability and long service life. The pads include chamfered edges and a slotted design to enhance heat dissipation and reduce brake fade during heavy use. The iron backing plates are bonded to the friction material for structural integrity, while included pad shims help reduce vibration and noise. Mechanical pad wear sensors are integrated to alert drivers when replacement is needed, supporting vehicle safety and maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake pad set is compatible with the following vehicles:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChevrolet Express 1500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChevrolet Express 2500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChevrolet Express 3500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGMC Savana 1500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese brake pads are designed for regular grade braking performance, suitable for daily driving and light to moderate load conditions common in these full-size vans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by DuraGo BP974AC Brake Pads\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake noise and vibration caused by worn or low-quality pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking efficiency due to heat buildup and fade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive brake dust accumulation on wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelayed maintenance alerts without pad wear sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven pad wear leading to premature replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of the DuraGo BP974AC disc brake pads requires standard brake service tools.
