Product Details and Specifications

These disc brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition, known for producing less dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 15.9 mm, ensuring a substantial pad life. The slotted design helps dissipate heat during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under normal driving conditions. Chamfered edges and included pad shims work together to minimize noise and vibration, contributing to a smoother braking experience. While these pads do not include a pad wear sensor, their performance grade rating supports consistent and reliable braking for Chrysler Pacifica owners.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged front disc brake pads on Chrysler Pacifica
• Reducing brake dust accumulation on wheels for easier maintenance
