FAQs

How do I know if this brake pad set is right for my car?

You must verify fitment using the 'make model tool' on the product page or by contacting customer support with your vehicle's year, make, and model. Cross-referencing the part number with your vehicle's original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part number is also recommended.

What does 'rear axle placement' mean?

This means the brake pad set is designed specifically for the braking system on the rear wheels of your vehicle, not the front.

What are the dimensions of these brake pads?

The dimensions are Height: 87.1 mm, Width: 187.5 mm, and Thickness: 17.7 mm.

Can I use these brake pads with any brake rotor?

These pads are designed for disc brake systems and should be used with compatible brake rotors. It is best to use them with rotors that are in good condition, either new or resurfaced, to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

What are the recommended accessory part numbers?

The recommended accessory part numbers are 1987474569 and 1987473560, which may include hardware or other components needed for a complete brake service.

How often should I replace my rear brake pads?

The replacement interval varies based on driving habits, vehicle load, and environmental conditions. It is recommended to have brake pads inspected regularly during routine vehicle maintenance, typically every 6 months or 10,000 miles, and replace them when they reach a minimum thickness or show signs of wear.

What is the difference between disc brake pads and drum brake shoes?

Disc brake pads are used in a caliper system that clamps onto a rotor to slow the wheel, while drum brake shoes press outward against the inside of a drum to create friction. This product is for a disc brake system.

Troubleshooting

Brake noise (squealing or grinding)

This can sometimes occur after installation or due to worn rotors. Ensure pads were installed correctly with anti-squeal shims if applicable. Check rotor condition; resurfacing or replacement may be necessary. Bedding in the new pads according to manufacturer recommendations might also resolve noise.

Reduced braking performance

Verify the correct part number was installed and that it is compatible with the vehicle. Check for air in the brake lines, low brake fluid, or worn rotors. Ensure the brake caliper is functioning correctly and not sticking.

Brake pedal feels spongy or goes to the floor

This typically indicates a problem with the hydraulic system, such as air in the brake lines or a leak. It is not usually directly related to the brake pads themselves but requires immediate attention from a qualified mechanic.

Brake dust excessive

Some brake dust is normal. However, excessive dust can sometimes indicate aggressive pad material or a need for cleaning. Ensure the correct pad type for your driving needs is selected and consider cleaning wheels regularly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Verification: Before purchasing, it is crucial to use the 'make model tool' or contact customer support to confirm that part number 0986494794 is the correct fit for your specific vehicle's year, make, and model. Cross-reference with your vehicle's existing brake pad part numbers and the listed OEM references (Bentley 971698451B, Porsche 971698451B, 99135294701) to ensure a match.

Installation: Installation of brake pads should be performed by a qualified mechanic. This typically involves removing the wheel, disengaging the brake caliper, removing the old pads, cleaning the caliper hardware, and installing the new Bosch brake pads. Ensure all hardware is correctly seated and the caliper is reassembled properly. Recommended accessory kits (1987474569, 1987473560) should be used as needed for a complete service.

Care: Brake pads are a wear item. Regular inspection is recommended during routine vehicle maintenance. Look for signs of uneven wear, glazing, or damage. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or corrosive materials, which can degrade brake performance over time. When replacing pads, it is also often recommended to inspect and potentially resurface or replace the brake rotors for optimal performance and to prevent premature wear of the new pads.
