Overview
The Baer Brakes D0856 is a front ceramic brake pad set for the 2001-2007 Dodge Caravan, 2001-2007 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2003-2007 Chrysler Town & Country, 2003-2008 Chrysler Voyager and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty (KJ). Baer Brakes names it the Claw pad, a daily-driver friction choice built around a premium ceramic compound.
Brake pads are the friction blocks that clamp against the rotor every time you slow down, so their material shapes how the front brakes feel from the first pedal press. The Claw pad balances stopping power with road-going comfort, offering OE-style replacement behavior, low dust, quiet operation and long pad life. Each set contains four pads for the front axle.
Key features
- OE replacement pads with consistent wear and quiet, low-dust operation
- Premium high friction ceramic compound
- Long pad life that keeps rotor wear low
- Designed to balance performance with comfort for daily drivers
- Stainless steel abutment and anti-rattle hardware included with most applications
- Slotted pads with an attached wear indicator
Bedding in new front pads
New front pads need a short break-in period before they reach full friction. Make moderate stops from moderate speed until pedal feel firms up, and let the brakes cool between sessions. Hard, repeated stops on fresh pads can glaze the friction surface and reduce bite.
Front pads work hardest on minivans and crossovers carrying passengers or cargo, so pad condition matters more on loaded trips. Inspect the rotor surface at each change, and replace pads together on each axle so both sides brake evenly. This set has an attached wear indicator, so watch for its squeal as a sign of wear.
- Keep the abutment clips clean and free of corrosion
- Confirm rotors are flat before fitting new pads
- Avoid heavy braking during the first trip after fitting

Installation notes
Most applications come with stainless steel abutment clips and anti-rattle hardware, so compare the hardware in the box against the old pads before you start. Brake lubricant is not included, so obtain it separately if your installation calls for it. Replace front pads as a complete axle pair so both sides brake evenly.

Not included: brake lubricant.
