Product Line Details: Power Stop - Rear Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware

The Power Stop - Rear Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware are part of Power Stop's performance-oriented product line designed to deliver effective braking with reduced dust and noise. This line features ceramic friction material combined with slotted and chamfered pad designs to enhance heat dissipation and pad life. The inclusion of mounting hardware and shims ensures a straightforward installation process, making it suitable for rear disc brake systems on compatible vehicles.

Detailed Product Description

These disc brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that offers stable braking performance and reduced brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 15.2 mm, providing ample material for extended use. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, which can improve overall pad life and reduce brake fade. Chamfered edges help minimize noise and vibration during operation. Included mounting hardware and pad shims facilitate proper installation and alignment, ensuring consistent contact with the rotor.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or damaged rear disc brake pads on Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles
• Reduction of brake dust buildup on wheels for cleaner appearance
• Minimizing brake noise and vibration through chamfered edges and shims
• Improving braking consistency and performance under normal driving conditions
• Addressing brake fade caused by heat buildup with slotted pad design

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 17-512 brake pads, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris. Use the included mounting hardware and pad shims to secure the pads properly and maintain correct alignment. It is recommended to inspect the brake rotors for wear or damage and replace or resurface if necessary. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for all fasteners. Since these pads do not include a wear sensor, monitor pad thickness regularly to maintain safe braking performance.
