Product Details

The 4512-52022 brake kit is designed for drivers servicing rear brakes on vehicles such as the Cadillac DeVille, Cadillac Seville, Buick Riviera, and Oldsmobile Aurora. DFC’s 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction performance, while the coated rotors are machined to tight tolerances and inspected for critical dimensions and balance. The result is a service kit focused on consistent stopping performance, quieter operation, and reduced corrosion on exposed rotor surfaces.

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

Common Problems This Kit Can Address

• Rear brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven braking feel from worn or out-of-spec rear rotors
• Reduced pad contact quality during brake service
• Premature or uneven rear brake wear caused by aged hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear axle fitment by year, make, and model before ordering. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during service. For best results, clean the hub mounting surface, inspect caliper condition, and replace worn brake components as needed during the brake job.

Quality Assurance

DFC GeoSpec rotors are manufactured to OE specifications, processed through precision machining, and subjected to 100% inspection of critical attributes. Vented rotors are also balance-checked and corrected when required. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
