PowerStop 17-726 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Power Stop Front Z17 Ceramic Brake Pads Overview

The Power Stop - Front Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware (part number 17-726) provide reliable braking performance for select Chevrolet, GMC, Isuzu, and Oldsmobile models. Designed with ceramic friction material and enhanced features, these pads offer a balance of durability and reduced brake dust for vehicles like the Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy.

• Ceramic friction material for consistent stopping power
• Slotted design to improve heat dissipation and reduce brake fade
• Includes mounting hardware and pad shims for easier installation
• Chamfered edges to minimize noise and vibration
• Outer and inner pad friction material thickness of 14.6 mm for extended pad life

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 provides stable braking performance while generating less dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases produced during braking, which can reduce brake fade and maintain consistent pedal feel. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 14.6 mm, contributing to longer service intervals.

Included mounting hardware and pad shims simplify the installation process and help ensure proper fitment and noise reduction. Chamfered edges on the pads further reduce the likelihood of squealing and vibration during braking. These pads do not include a pad wear sensor but are designed for performance-grade applications.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake pad set is compatible with front brake systems on various Chevrolet, GMC, Isuzu, and Oldsmobile models, including:

• Chevrolet Blazer
• GMC Jimmy
• Isuzu Hombre
• Oldsmobile Bravada
• Chevrolet S10 and GMC Sonoma

These pads are suitable for drivers seeking a balance of performance and reduced brake dust in their daily driving or light-duty applications.

Common Issues Addressed by This Brake Pad Set

• Excessive brake dust buildup on wheels
• Brake fade during extended or heavy braking
• Brake noise and vibration
• Premature pad wear due to thin friction material
• Difficulty with pad installation due to missing hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 17-726 brake pads, ensure the mounting hardware and pad shims are properly positioned to avoid noise and ensure secure fitment. The slotted and chamfered design requires correct orientation for optimal performance. Although these pads do not include wear sensors, inspect the brake system for sensor compatibility if applicable. Always follow vehicle manufacturer torque specifications and safety procedures during installation.
