What It Helps Address

• Uneven or inconsistent rear brake pedal response
• Worn rear pads that reduce braking performance
• Need for a direct-fit rear brake pad replacement on supported vehicles

Installation Notes

Verify rear axle fitment before ordering, since this pad set is listed for specific rear applications only. Confirm whether your vehicle uses a mechanical pad wear sensor and compare the existing pad shape, caliper style, and dimensions before installation. Mounting hardware is not included, so reuse or replace hardware as needed during brake service. For vehicles such as the Dodge Grand Caravan, Dodge Journey, and Chrysler Town & Country, inspect rotors, calipers, and guide hardware at the same time to complete the brake job correctly.
