MAGMA MXD2173C Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Overview

MAGMA MaxValue Ceramic Brake Pads, part number MXD2173C, are built for front brake service on a wide range of full-size trucks and SUVs. This disc brake pad set uses a ceramic friction formula with integrally molded friction material for consistent contact and controlled braking response.

Compatible With Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and GMC Sierra 1500 applications, MXD2173C is matched to vehicles using standard brakes and, on many listings, a 4-piston front caliper. The pad set includes wear sensors, shims, and mounting hardware for a more complete service package.

Key Features

• Ceramic friction material for stable braking performance and cleaner operation.
• Integrally molded friction attachment for a durable pad construction.
• Pad wear sensor included with electronic and mechanical sensor coverage.
• Pad shims included to support quieter brake service.
• Mounting hardware included for a more complete replacement.
• FMSI 9418-D2173 reference for application matching.

Detailed Description

MXD2173C is a front disc brake pad set designed around the fitment requirements of late-model GM trucks and SUVs, including Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Chevrolet Tahoe, and GMC Yukon applications. The ceramic compound is paired with an integrally molded friction surface to support even pad contact and dependable pedal feel during routine brake service. Part number MXD2173C also cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

The fitment data shows coverage for 2019-2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500, plus 2021-2026 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and Yukon XL. Additional coverage includes 2022 Chevrolet Cheyenne Nueva, Silverado 1500 LTD, Silverado 1500 Nueva, and GMC Sierra 1500 Limited, along with 2025 Chevrolet Silverado. Verify caliper style and brake configuration before ordering, since some applications specify a 4-piston front caliper while others list standard brakes.

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise caused by worn or uneven pad friction surfaces.
• Reduced stopping consistency from aged front brake pads.
• Brake wear monitoring issues when sensor-equipped pads are required.
• Service interruptions when shims and hardware are needed for pad replacement.
• Fitment mismatches on GM trucks and SUVs with specific front brake configurations.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, model, and front brake configuration against the fitment table before installation. This part is listed for front applications only, and some rows require a 4-piston front caliper while others specify standard brakes. Inspect rotors, calipers, and sensor connections during service, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedure.

Quality Assurance

MAGMA MaxValue Ceramic Brake Pads are built as a fitment-specific replacement for the listed GM truck and SUV applications. The included wear sensors, shims, and hardware support a complete front brake service when the vehicle configuration matches the catalog data.
