Key features

- Premium high friction compound.
- Long pad life with low rotor wear
- Stainless steel abutment and anti-rattle hardware included with most pads
- Slotted design with pad shims included
Before you replace front pads
Front pads do most of the stopping work on many trucks, so wear shows up quickly under heavy loads, towing and frequent stops. Pad material affects how the brakes feel when cold, how much dust collects on the wheels and how quickly the rotor face wears. Matching the compound to how the truck is driven is part of choosing a set.
When pads are replaced, check the caliper slide pins, the caliper bracket and the rotors at the same time. Worn or grooved rotors can cause noise and uneven pad contact even with new pads. Clean the caliper bracket surfaces and apply lubricant only to the points the installation calls for, keeping it off the pad friction faces.
- Inspect rotor thickness and surface before fitting pads
- Check that caliper slide pins move freely
- Replace shims and hardware if they are worn or corroded
- Bed in new pads using the procedure suited to the friction type
