Dynamic Friction 4502-73116 Disc Brake Kit - Rear

Rear Brake Kit for Audi A4 and A4 Quattro

Dynamic Friction DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads, part number 4502-73116, is a rear disc brake kit built for select Audi A4 and Audi A4 Quattro applications. It combines coated rotors and advanced friction pads in one service kit for a straightforward rear brake replacement.

Key Features

• Complete rear disc brake kit with rotors and pads
• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-processed rotors ready for installation without oil cleanup
• Non-directional rotor finish for even pad bed-in and smoother braking
• 5000 Advanced Brake Pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time
• Rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• OE-style rotor casting and machining tolerances

Product Details

The DFC GEOSPEC rotor and 5000 Advanced pad combination is engineered for rear brake service on 2002-2006 Audi A4 and 2002-2004 Audi A4 Quattro, plus 2005 Audi A4 Quattro rear applications with 288mm front rotors noted in the fitment data. The rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The pads are formulated for stable friction performance and consistent pedal feel.

Part number 4502-73116 is a practical choice when replacing worn rear brake components on Audi A4 and Audi A4 Quattro models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Rear brake noise from worn pads or rotor wear
• Brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Reduced stopping performance from aged friction material
• Rust buildup on rear rotors
• Extended brake service intervals due to pad and rotor wear

Installation Notes

Compatible With rear brake service on 2002-2006 Audi A4 and 2002-2004 Audi A4 Quattro applications listed above. Verify rotor size and vehicle configuration before installation, especially for the 2005 Audi A4 Quattro note referencing 288mm front rotors. Clean the hub mounting surface, inspect caliper hardware and slides, and follow proper bedding procedures after installation. Part number 4502-73116 should be matched to the exact rear axle application shown in the fitment data.

Quality Assurance

DFC states that each rotor is 100% inspected after machining, with balance correction applied to vented rotors when needed. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched to support stable friction performance from the first stop.
