Product Details

This DFC brake rotor and pad service kit is built for front axle brake maintenance on the Volvo 740, Volvo 760, Volvo 780, and Volvo 940 across the listed model years and caliper configurations. The 5000 Advanced Brake Pads line is paired with matching rotor service components to support a complete front brake refresh on vehicles that use Girling or ATE rear-caliper configurations where specified. Part number 6512-27151 is the reference to verify before ordering.

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

Common Brake Service Issues

• Brake pulsation from worn or uneven front rotors
• Squealing or reduced stopping response from worn front pads
• Brake vibration during light or moderate braking
• Front brake wear on high-mileage Volvo 740 and Volvo 760 models
• Service needs after rotor scoring, pad glazing, or pad material breakdown

Installation Notes

Confirm the vehicle year, model, front position, and caliper configuration before installation. Match the application notes exactly, especially Girling front calipers, rear caliper type, ABS status, and the 287mm vented front disc specification on 1983-1984 Volvo 760 models. Inspect caliper condition, rotor mounting surfaces, and brake fluid level during service. Part number 6512-27151 should be verified against the existing brake setup before installation.
