Overview
The Baer Brakes D1589 is a set of four front Claw brake pads for the 2020–2023 Jeep Gladiator and 2018–2022 Jeep Wrangler JL. It also fits the 2017–2023 Chrysler Pacifica, 2020–2023 Chrysler Voyager and 2019–2020 Dodge Grand Caravan, along with the 2018 Wrangler JK.
Baer designs the Claw pad as an OE-style replacement for everyday driving. It is built for long-lasting, consistent performance, with low rotor wear, quick break-in and minimal dust. The set includes a mechanical pad wear sensor and an attached wear indicator.
Key features
- OE-replacement pads that Baer says deliver consistent wear and performance with minimal noise and dust
- Premium high-friction compound.
- Designed for long pad life with low rotor wear.
- Balanced for road-going use on daily drivers
- Mechanical pad wear sensor included
- Wear indicator attached to the pad
- Slotted pad face
- Stainless steel abutment and anti-rattle hardware included with most pads
Wear sensors and rotor condition
Mechanical wear sensors give an audible warning as the pad lining thins. The sensor is a simple tab on the pad that contacts the rotor and makes a squeal when service is due, so it works without any electrical connection. Treat that noise as a prompt to inspect the pads soon rather than as a minor annoyance.
Pads and rotors wear together, so inspect the rotor surface whenever the pads are changed. Deep grooves, heat spots or uneven thickness can cause vibration and uneven pad wear. Smooth or replace the rotors as needed, and bed in the new pads before heavy braking, following the procedure suited to the friction material.
- Use the wear indicator as a visual check at each oil change
- Inspect the caliper slide pins and boots during the pad change
- Replace pads in axle pairs to keep braking even
- Keep the abutment clips clean and free of corrosion

Installation notes
Mounting hardware and brake lubricant are not included, so have both ready before you start. The mechanical pad wear sensor and attached wear indicator come with this set. Abutment clips and pad shims are supplied for most applications. Because brake pads are safety-critical, have a qualified technician install and test them before driving.
What’s included
Four front pads sold as a set, pad shims, abutment clips, and a mechanical pad wear sensor with an attached wear indicator.
