Compatible With 2018-2022 Chevrolet Trax, rear and 2018-2022 Buick Encore, rear, with an additional 2024 Chevrolet Trax, rear application listed in the fitment data.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor condition, caliper operation, and pad fitment before installation. Clean the brake hardware contact points, inspect the rear braking system for uneven wear, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedure for bedding-in new pads after installation. Confirm the FMSI reference and rear-position application before ordering.
