Overview
The Power Stop Z36-777 is a Z36 Truck and Tow brake pad set with a metallic friction material. Power Stop designs it for drivers who climb hills, haul loads or tow trailers and want extra stopping power on trucks and SUVs.
Built for vehicles with higher gross vehicle weights, the pads offer strong pad bite to limit brake fade at high temperatures.
Key features
- Metallic friction material for truck and tow use
- Friction coefficient is 17 percent higher than OE pads.
- Designed for hill driving, hauling and towing
- Chamfered and slotted pad design
- Powder-coated backing plate
- Noise insulating shims and hi-temp lubricant
Setting up for heavy loads
A metallic friction material handles heat well and tends to hold up under sustained braking, which suits loaded trucks on long grades. Metallic pads can be noisier and produce more brake dust than ceramic formulas, so regular cleaning of the wheels helps keep them looking good.
Pads are only part of the system. Rotors that are worn, warped or thin reduce braking performance no matter how good the pad is, so measure rotor thickness before fitting new pads and replace any rotor below its minimum. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, and fresh fluid helps keep the pedal firm when the brakes are hot.
- Bed in new pads with several moderate stops before towing
- Check wheel bearings and suspension for play
- Replace hardware clips whenever pads are changed
