Product details

The Wagner Brake SevereDuty line is engineered for fleet use, police-pursuit service, and vehicles that see frequent stopping, gear hauling, or heavy loads. This SX981 brake pad set uses a semi-metallic friction formulation with 0.550-inch inner and outer pad thickness, plus chamfered edges and included shims to support consistent pedal feel and quieter operation. This part cross-references Mopar part numbers 05083882AC and 5083882AC for the same application. It is a direct fit for rear brake service on Jeep Liberty, Jeep TJ, and Jeep Wrangler applications covered by the fitment data. The SX981 part number is also useful when matching service parts for Jeep Liberty, TJ, and Wrangler rear brake maintenance.

What it helps address

• Brake fade during repeated stops
• Reduced stopping consistency under load
