Description

Overview

The Power Stop Z36-785 rear brake pads are Z36 Truck and Tow disc brake pads for 1999–2013 Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, Avalanche, Cadillac Escalade and Hummer H2.

Z36 pads suit vehicles working at higher gross vehicle weights, and the strong pad bite helps avoid high temperature brake fade. The Z36 compound has 17 percent more friction than OE pads.

Key features

  • Carbon and ceramic friction formula
  • Thermal scorched finish
  • Chamfered and slotted like the OE pads
  • Powdercoated backing plate
  • Noise insulating shims
  • Hi-temp lubricant included
  • Direct fit with the stock caliper, rear position

Rear axle pad service

Rear pads on a full-size truck carry less load than the fronts on most stops, yet they still do real work on a heavy vehicle and when towing. Rear brake fade can build on long descents when the rear axle is doing a share of the stopping, so the pad material matters on loaded trips. Many trucks also use the rear calipers for the parking brake, so check that the mechanism moves freely after service.

Clean and lubricate the caliper slide pins with the supplied hi-temp grease so the pads move freely. Sticking slides cause uneven pad wear and drag, which shows up as heat and a pull under braking. Rotors and calipers are sold separately, so inspect them while the wheel is off.

  • Look for uneven wear across the pad faces
  • Check the parking brake after installation
  • Replace pads on both sides of the same axle

Questions & Answers

Which vehicles does the Power Stop Z36-785 fit?

The Z36-785 rear pads fit 1999–2013 Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, Avalanche, Cadillac Escalade and Hummer H2. Confirm fit for your vehicle's year, model and trim before ordering.

Is the Z36-785 a front or rear brake pad?

Rear. The Z36-785 is a rear-position pad built to work with the stock caliper. Because it is a direct-fit upgrade, the caliper and its mounting bracket are reused when the pads are changed.

Does the Z36-785 come with shims and lubricant?

Yes. Power Stop lists noise insulating shims and hi-temp lubricant with the Z36-785. Brake rotors and calipers are separate parts that the Z36-785 pads do not replace.

Do rear pads need to be replaced in pairs?

Yes. Replace both pads on each rear axle at the same time so braking stays even from side to side. Mixing old and new pads can cause pull and uneven wear, so check both sides when the wheel is off.
