Akebono Brake Corporation is an original-equipment brand with a focus on noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) analysis and control. For balanced, even braking, replace the pads on both sides of the rear axle together as a matched set. Worn pads may show up as reduced braking, squealing, grinding, or a vibrating pedal — if worn rear pads are the cause, this set replaces them.

Do ceramic pads run cleaner and quieter?
For everyday street driving, ceramic friction typically produces less visible dust and dampens noise compared with conventional semi-metallic pads.
