The Story
Rear Brake Kit for Toyota Highlander
Designed for rear brake service on the 2008-2013 Toyota Highlander, this DFC Friction brake kit combines GEOSPEC coated rotors with 5000 Advanced brake pads in one matched package. Part number 4502-76179 is built for drivers who want OE-style fitment, corrosion protection, and consistent stopping performance in a rear brake replacement.
Key Features
- Rear disc brake kit with rotors and pads matched for the same axle
- GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray finish that resists rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings
- Dry-processed rotors ship ready to install, with no oil coating to clean off
- Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction and reduced break-in time
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
- OE-spec cast iron formulation and tight machining tolerances
Product Details
The DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads line is built as a complete brake service solution for vehicles that need dependable rear braking performance. For the Toyota Highlander rear axle, part number 4502-76179 pairs coated rotors with advanced friction material to support quieter stops, more even wear, and a cleaner installation process. The rotors are machined to OE specifications and inspected for critical dimensions and balance, while the pads are formulated for stable friction across a wide range of driving conditions.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What This Brake Kit Helps Address
- Rear brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotors
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Brake noise caused by aged pads or poor pad-to-rotor contact
- Extended stopping distances from worn friction material
- Uneven brake feel during routine rear brake service
Installation Notes
Compatible With 2008-2013 Toyota Highlander, rear. The rotors are shipped dry and ready for installation, which helps reduce prep time during brake service. For best results, clean the hub mounting surface, verify caliper operation, and follow proper pad bed-in procedures after installation. Part number 4502-76179 is intended for rear axle brake replacement on the listed Highlander applications.
Quality Assurance
DFC GEOSPEC rotors are manufactured to OE specifications, then inspected for balance and critical dimensions before release. Each rotor includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
