The Story
Rear Brake Pads for Buick and Cadillac
The Dynamite Friction DFC 4000 HybriDynamic Brake Pads are built for drivers who want steady pedal feel, responsive braking, and everyday refinement. This rear disc brake pad set is a practical choice for 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS applications, including the rear position.
DFC 4000 HybriDynamic Line
The DFC 4000 HybriDynamic brake pad line focuses on balanced street performance with a hybrid friction material that helps deliver consistent brake response. For daily driving, the formulation is aimed at keeping dust and noise levels low while maintaining predictable stopping behavior.
Key Features
- Hybrid friction material for consistent pedal feel
- Rear disc brake pad set with 4 pads included
- Integrally molded friction material attachment
- Prepared for a mechanical pad wear sensor
- Low dust and low noise characteristics for daily use
- Outer and inner pad dimensions: 45.2 mm height, 141 mm width, 14.5 mm thickness
Detailed Product Overview
Part number 4000-1172-00 is a rear disc brake pad set from Dynamite Friction designed for Buick Lucerne and Cadillac DTS fitments from 2006 through 2011. The hybrid compound is selected to provide stable brake response and a consistent feel at the pedal, while the pad design supports quieter operation and reduced brake dust for routine commuting and city driving. Part number 4000-1172-00 is a direct fit for the listed rear applications.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Squealing or noisy rear brake operation
- Excess brake dust on wheels
- Uneven or inconsistent pedal response
- Worn rear disc brake pads on Buick Lucerne and Cadillac DTS models
- Reduced braking confidence during everyday driving
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify rear brake pad dimensions and sensor preparation before installation. This set does not include mounting hardware, and no pad wear sensor is included. The pads are prepared for a mechanical wear sensor, so confirm the vehicle’s rear brake setup matches that configuration before service. Inspect rotors, caliper condition, and guide hardware during brake work to help ensure proper pad seating and even wear.
Quality Assurance
Dynamite Friction positions the DFC 4000 HybriDynamic line as a value-focused brake solution with consistent response, low dust, and low noise characteristics for daily driving. Part number 4000-1172-00 is engineered for the listed rear fitments on 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS models.
