What This Brake Pad Set Helps Address

• Rear brake noise caused by worn friction material or missing pad shims
• Uneven braking feel from pads that no longer match the ceramic application
• Excess brake dust from older copper-based formulations
• Reduced stopping performance from worn rear pads on Audi A4, A5, Q5, and related models
• Brake vibration or pad movement related to worn abutment contact points

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rotor diameter, ceramic brake package, and build-date notes before installation, especially on 2020-2021 Audi Q5, Q5 Sportback, RS5, RS5 Sportback, A6 allroad, A7 Sportback, S4, S5, S5 Sportback, and SQ5 applications. Inspect caliper hardware, rotor condition, and bracket contact surfaces before fitting the new pads. Brake lubricant is not included, and mounting hardware is not included.

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