Detailed Product Description
The Wagner Brake ThermoQuiet PD721 disc brake pad set is constructed with ceramic friction material on both the outer and inner pads, each measuring 0.665 inches thick. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation during braking, which helps maintain consistent performance and reduces the risk of brake fade. Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter operation by reducing vibration and harsh contact with the rotor. Included pad shims assist in proper installation and help minimize noise. These pads do not include pad wear sensors or abutment clips, so ensure compatibility with your vehicle's brake system. The PD721 is specifically designed for Subaru Forester, Impreza, Legacy, and Outback models, providing a direct replacement that meets OEM specifications.
Common Applications and Issues Addressed
- Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake pads on compatible Subaru models
