Common Brake Issues This Part Can Address

• Brake squeal during light or moderate stops
• Worn front pads on select Honda Accord models
• Uneven pad wear related to front brake service
• Reduced braking consistency from aged friction material
• Noise concerns on OE ceramic pad applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify caliper type before ordering, since fitment is listed for Nissin caliper and Akebono caliper applications. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and wear sensor routing during service, and confirm the pad shape matches FMSI 7375-D496 before installation. Proper bedding-in after installation helps establish even pad transfer on the rotor surface.

Quality Assurance

Wagner Brake ThermoQuiet pads are engineered with a ceramic, zero-copper friction formulation and IMI technology to support quieter front brake operation. QC496 is built to meet the listed fitment and application details for select Honda Accord vehicles.
