With ceramic friction material, chamfered edges, slotted pads, and a mechanical wear sensor, this set is focused on consistent braking feel and low-noise operation for commuter and light-duty use.

Key Features

• Ceramic friction material for predictable braking performance.
• OE-style fit and formulation for straightforward replacement.
• Slotted design and chamfered edges for controlled pad contact.
• Mechanical pad wear sensor included.
• Abutment clips included for the listed application.

Detailed Description

The Wagner Brake EC729 is a rear disc brake pad set engineered for daily driving conditions. Its ceramic friction material is paired with a 0.610-inch inner and outer pad thickness, while the slotted profile and chamfered edges help support smooth engagement and reduced noise. The Essentials product line is positioned as a practical replacement option for drivers who want OE-style fitment without unnecessary complexity.

This part cross-references Akebono ProACT ACT729 and Bosch BC729 for the same application. It is a direct fit for rear brake service on Chevrolet S10, GMC Sonoma, Chevrolet Blazer, GMC Jimmy, Oldsmobile Bravada, Isuzu Hombre, Chevrolet S10 Blazer, and GMC S15 applications covered by the fitment data. The EC729 part number is the key identifier when matching this brake pad set to the correct rear application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing worn rear brake pads that have reduced friction material.
• Addressing brake noise caused by pad wear or uneven contact.
• Restoring braking response in everyday commuting and light-duty driving.
• Servicing rear brake systems that require a mechanical wear sensor.
• Correcting fitment issues when the existing pad shape no longer matches the caliper hardware.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear fitment by year, make, and model before ordering. Match the EC729 part number and FMSI 7596-D729 / 7596 identifiers to the removed pads when verifying application. Mounting hardware is not included, and pad shims are not included. Inspect caliper condition, rotor surface, and abutment points during service, and replace worn components as needed for proper pad movement.
