Product Details
This DFC brake kit is designed around the rear brake service needs of the 2001-2003 Toyota Highlander. The GEOSPEC rotor coating helps protect against corrosion while the non-directional finish supports even pad bed-in and smoother stopping. The 3000 Ceramic pads are built for passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks, with a friction formula aimed at consistent pedal feel across a wide temperature range. Part number 4302-76044 is a practical OE-style replacement choice for rear brake maintenance on the Toyota Highlander.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Brake Issues It Can Address
- Rear brake noise during stops
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Uneven or inconsistent braking feel
- Excess brake dust from worn pads
- Reduced stopping performance from worn rear components
Installation Notes
Verify rear fitment by year before ordering: Fits 2001-2003 Toyota Highlander, rear. Inspect calipers, slides, and brake fluid condition during service, and follow proper rotor and pad bedding procedures after installation. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which can reduce prep time during a standard rear brake job.
Quality Assurance
DFC GEOSPEC rotors are 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and each rotor is backed by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance, and the kit is engineered to meet OE-style durability and reliability expectations.
