Product Details

The DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads line is built as a service kit for drivers who want matched brake components in one package.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Service Issues

• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Brake noise during stops
• Uneven pad bedding after rotor replacement
