Detailed Features and Specifications
The Wagner Brake ThermoQuiet PD43A disc brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that offers stable friction and less dust compared to semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 0.625 inches, ensuring adequate lifespan and consistent braking performance.
