The ceramic friction material composition helps maintain stable friction levels under various driving conditions while producing less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 19.5 mm, contributing to longer pad life and consistent braking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese pads feature a slotted design that aids in heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. Chamfered edges help reduce noise and vibration, enhancing overall driving comfort. The included mechanical pad wear sensors provide a reliable indication of pad wear, allowing for timely replacement and maintaining vehicle safety. Pad shims are also included to ensure a secure fit and minimize brake noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChevrolet Express 2500 rear disc brake replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChevrolet Express 3500 rear disc brake replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGMC Savana 2500 rear disc brake replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGMC Savana 3500 rear disc brake replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake pad set is designed specifically for rear brake systems on these Chevrolet and GMC full-size vans, providing a direct fit and reliable braking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before beginning brake service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect rotors for wear or damage and resurface or replace if necessary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean caliper slides and lubricate with appropriate brake grease to prevent sticking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify mechanical pad wear sensor connection and routing during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter installation, perform a brake bedding procedure to optimize pad performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower Stop manufactures the Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function.
