About the Raybestos Element3; Metallic Brake Pads
The Element3; Metallic line from Raybestos is designed to deliver consistent braking performance with a focus on durability and noise reduction. These disc brake pads feature metallic friction material that is integrally molded to the backing plate, enhancing pad strength and wear resistance.

Product Details and Specifications
The PGD966M brake pad set includes both inner and outer pads with identical dimensions: 2.200 inches in height, 6.810 inches in width, and 0.685 inches in overall thickness. The pads feature chamfered edges to minimize noise and vibration during braking. Pad shims are attached using a staked method, and mounting hardware is included to facilitate a secure and proper installation. Note that these pads do not include a pad wear sensor.
Common Issues Addressed by These Brake Pads
- Reduced braking performance due to worn or damaged pads
- Brake noise and vibration caused by uneven pad surfaces

Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Raybestos PGD966M disc brake pads, ensure the mounting hardware and pad shims are properly positioned to prevent noise and ensure even wear. The slotted design requires correct orientation to maximize heat dissipation. Since these pads do not include a wear sensor, inspect the brake system regularly to monitor pad thickness. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for all fasteners during installation.
