Detailed Features and Benefits

The Power Stop - Front Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware are engineered with a ceramic friction material composition that balances effective braking with low dust output. Both the inner and outer pads feature a friction material thickness of 15.3 mm, providing a substantial wear surface for extended service life. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under moderate performance conditions. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter operation by preventing uneven pad contact and vibration. Additionally, the included mechanical pad wear sensor alerts drivers when pad replacement is necessary, helping maintain safe braking performance.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake pad set is compatible with front brake systems on the following vehicles:

• Buick Enclave, Enclave
• Cadillac XT5, XT6, XTS
• Chevrolet Acadia, Blazer, Traverse
• GMC Acadia, Terrain

These pads are designed to address common braking issues such as brake dust accumulation, noise, and reduced stopping power due to worn pads.

• Excessive brake dust on wheels
• Brake noise or squealing during operation
• Reduced braking responsiveness or fade
• Uneven pad wear causing vibration
• Delayed pad wear indication without sensor alerts

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 17-1896 brake pads, ensure the mechanical wear sensor is properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring. The included mounting hardware and pad shims should be used to secure the pads and reduce noise. It is recommended to inspect the rotors for wear or damage and resurface or replace as needed to optimize braking performance. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for all fasteners during installation.
