ThermoQuiet Product Line Details

The Wagner ThermoQuiet line focuses on quiet operation and consistent pedal feel through pad construction that helps isolate vibration. For drivers maintaining older Chevrolet and GMC front brake systems, the MX153 offers an OE-style replacement option with the friction characteristics and hardware details needed for proper service.

Detailed Description

The Wagner Brake MX153 is a front disc brake pad set engineered for vehicles that call for FMSI 7084A-D153. It cross-references Centric Parts 104.01530 and Raybestos Brakes PGD153M for the same application. This part is listed for front fitment on 1979-1996 Chevrolet and GMC models including Chevrolet C20, C20 Suburban, G30, K20, P20, P30, R20, R2500, V20, V20 Suburban, V2500 Suburban, and GMC C2500, C2500 Suburban, G3500, K2500, P2500, P3500, R2500, V2500, and related Suburban applications. The pad wear sensor is mechanical, and pad shims are included to support a quieter brake service.

What It Helps Address

• Front brake noise during stop-and-go driving
• Worn pad replacement on Chevrolet and GMC heavy-duty platforms
• Brake service needs on vehicles with mechanical wear sensors
• Restoration of proper friction performance on semi-metallic OE-style systems
• Maintenance for front brake pads showing reduced thickness or uneven wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor condition, caliper operation, and pad fitment before installation. This MX153 set is for front axle applications only and is listed without slotted faces, chamfered edges, or abutment clips. Confirm the vehicle’s GVW and OE pad material notes against the fitment listing before ordering, especially on Chevrolet C20, G30, and GMC G3500 applications. Proper bedding-in after installation helps establish stable friction performance.

Quality Assurance

Wagner Brake ThermoQuiet pads are built with a zero-copper friction formulation and IMI technology for quieter operation. The MX153 includes pad shims and a mechanical wear sensor as listed in the product data.
