Product Details

The Raybestos Metallic line focuses on direct-fit brake pad construction for vehicles that need a durable front brake pad set with a more aggressive friction profile. PGD601M uses a metallic compound with integrally molded attachment, staked shim construction, and a slotted surface to help manage heat and maintain stable braking performance.

This part cross-references Wagner Brake MX601 and Bosch BC601 for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Front brake noise from worn or uneven pad surfaces
• Reduced stopping response from depleted friction material
• Brake vibration related to pad wear or glazing
• Uneven pad contact on the front axle
• Heat buildup during repeated stop-and-go braking

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor condition, caliper movement, and pad fitment before installation. Because mounting hardware is not included, inspect existing hardware for wear or corrosion and replace it if needed. Clean the caliper bracket and rotor surfaces, then bed the pads according to the vehicle service procedure for the best initial brake performance.
