Product Line Details

The DFC 4000 HybriDynamic Brake Pads line is positioned as a value-focused brake pad family that simplifies material selection. This hybrid formulation is aimed at drivers who want stable braking behavior, controlled noise, and clean operation for routine commuting and mixed city/highway use.

Detailed Description

DFC 4000 HybriDynamic Brake Pads, part number 4000-1898-00, use a hybrid friction material to deliver steady braking performance on rear axle applications. The pad set measures 129 mm wide, with an outer pad height of 59.2 mm and an inner pad height of 59 mm, and both pads share an overall thickness of 16.6 mm. These dimensions support proper rear brake service on the listed Audi platforms while maintaining a consistent fit profile. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear axle fitment by model year and note the required sensor part number before installation. This pad set is prepared for an electronic wear sensor, but the sensor itself is not included. Mounting hardware is not included, so inspect the caliper hardware, slides, and rotor condition during brake service. Always confirm pad dimensions and sensor requirements against the vehicle before completing installation.
