Product Line Details

The Power Stop Z47 MD and Fleet line is aimed at severe-duty braking demands where vehicles spend long hours carrying heavy loads.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear axle fitment before ordering, since this part is specific to rear applications on the listed Chevrolet and GMC vans. Inspect rotors, calipers, and hardware during installation, and follow the vehicle service procedure for pad bedding after installation. The included stainless-steel hardware and pad shims help streamline the brake job, while the mechanical wear sensor should be transferred or connected according to the vehicle’s brake system design.
