Detailed Description

Dynamite Friction part number 4000-0495-00 is a rear disc brake pad set engineered for a range of Mercedes-Benz and Saab vehicles. Confirmed applications include 1987-1993 Mercedes-Benz 300TD, 300TE, 300SL, 300CE, 300E, 400E, 500E, and 500SL rear brake service, plus 1994-2000 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, SL-Class, C-Class, and SLK230 rear fitments, along with 1994-1996 Saab 900 rear brake pads. The hybrid friction compound is selected to provide stable braking response, while the low-dust, low-noise design supports cleaner wheels and quieter operation in routine driving. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Rear brake pad wear on supported Mercedes-Benz and Saab models
• Squealing or noisy braking from worn pads
• Excess brake dust buildup on wheels
• Uneven or inconsistent pedal feel during stop-and-go driving
• Brake response loss caused by aged friction material

Installation Notes and Tips

• Compatible With rear brake service only; verify axle position before ordering.
• Pad wear sensor is not included, and the pads are prepared for electronic wear sensor use.
• Some Mercedes-Benz applications require sensor 341-63000; confirm the quantity listed for your vehicle before installation.
• Mounting hardware is not included.
• Measure the existing pad shape and compare it to the listed dimensions: 58.4 mm x 61.7 mm x 15.3 mm.

Quality Assurance

The DFC 4000 HybriDynamic formulation is built for consistent braking performance, low dust, and low noise in daily driving conditions. Part number 4000-0495-00 is specified for confirmed rear fitments across Mercedes-Benz and Saab applications, helping ensure the correct pad shape and sensor preparation for the listed vehicles.
