Overview
The Baer Brakes D0052 is a set of four front Claw ceramic brake pads for a broad range of older Buick, Cadillac, Checker, Chevrolet, GMC, Jeep, Oldsmobile and Pontiac vehicles from 1967 to 1996. The range is wide and spans many body styles, so match the year and model carefully before fitting.
Ceramic friction material gives quiet, low-dust braking with long pad life and low rotor wear, and the Claw pads are designed as an OE replacement. The premium grade and slotted face are standard features of the set.
The set includes mounting hardware and a mechanical pad wear sensor. Abutment clips and pad shims are not included, so existing hardware will need to be reused or replaced separately.
Key features
- Ceramic friction material for quiet, low-dust braking
- OE replacement pads for classic and older vehicles
- Long pad life with low rotor wear
- Mechanical pad wear sensor included
- Mounting hardware included
- Slotted pads with black backing plates and an attached wear indicator
Older vehicles and hardware checks
Vehicles from this era often have caliper hardware, slide pins and shims that have been in service for many years. Before fitting new pads, clean the caliper bracket, check that the slides move freely, and look for cracked or hardened rubber boots. Replace any worn or corroded parts so the new pads sit square against the rotor.
Since this set does not come with abutment clips or pad shims, the existing parts need careful review. Bent or loose clips may cause rattling, and hardened shims may not dampen vibration. Older rotors are also worth measuring for thickness and runout, since uneven surfaces shorten pad life and cause pulsing.
- Clean and lubricate the caliper slides
- Replace cracked or hardened boots
- Measure rotor thickness and runout

Installation notes
Abutment clips and pad shims are not supplied, so check that the existing clips and shims are in good condition before the new pads go in. Because the fitment covers older vehicles, inspect the caliper slides and brake hardware during the job. Brake work is safety-critical, so have it done by an experienced shop.
