Element3 Metallic Product Line Details

The Element3; Metallic line by Raybestos is engineered to provide a balance between performance and longevity. This product line features metallic friction material that is integrally molded to the backing plate, ensuring consistent braking response and structural stability. The slotted design aids in heat management, making it suitable for vehicles that experience moderate to heavy braking demands.

Technical Description and Features

The PGD786AM disc brake pad set is constructed with metallic friction material, known for its durability and resistance to wear under demanding conditions. The slotted friction material slot type enhances heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. Chamfered edges help minimize noise and vibration, contributing to a smoother braking experience. Both outer and inner pads share identical dimensions, ensuring balanced braking force across the rotor surface. The friction material is integrally molded to the backing plate, which improves pad stability and reduces the chance of delamination.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake pads on compatible vehicles
• Addresses brake noise and vibration issues with chamfered edges
• Improves heat management during frequent or heavy braking with slotted design
• Provides consistent braking performance with metallic friction material
• Suitable for vehicles requiring mounting hardware included with brake pads

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Raybestos PGD786AM brake pads, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris for optimal contact. Since pad wear sensors are not included, verify sensor compatibility separately if your vehicle requires them. The included mounting hardware facilitates proper pad alignment and secure installation. Always follow manufacturer torque specifications and bedding-in procedures for new brake pads to achieve optimal performance.
