Detailed Product Overview

MPA Electrical 1000-0838M is a disc brake pad set engineered for rear axle service on select compact European and import vehicles. The semi-metallic compound is formulated to deliver stable stopping performance while helping reduce brake dust and noise compared with basic replacement pads. This makes it a practical choice for routine brake maintenance on the Volvo S40, Volvo V40, Mitsubishi Space Star, and Smart Forfour rear brake systems.

This part number 1000-0838M is listed for 1999-2004 Volvo S40 rear, 1999-2004 Volvo V40 rear, 2003-2004 Mitsubishi Space Star rear, 2005 Volvo S40 rear with 4 stud wheels, and 2005-2006 Smart Forfour rear. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Worn rear brake pads causing reduced stopping performance
• Brake noise from pads with degraded shims or uneven wear
• Excess brake dust from older friction material
• Poor pedal feel caused by pad wear at the rear axle
• Brake service needs on a Volvo S40, Volvo V40, Mitsubishi Space Star, or Smart Forfour

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear axle fitment by year, make, model, and notes before installation. This application includes pad shims and abutment clips, but does not include mounting hardware or brake lubricant. Inspect rotors, calipers, and slide components during brake service, and clean all contact points before installing the new pads.

Quality Assurance
