These ProACT Ultra-Premium pads use OE-validated, application-specific ceramic friction formulations designed for braking performance and noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) control.

  • Ceramic formulation: OE-validated, application-specific ceramic compound.
  • Precision-cut pressure plates: part of the pad design aimed at braking performance and NVH control.
  • Engineered chamfers and slots: scientifically engineered chamfers and slots support braking performance and NVH control.
  • Akebono heritage: from Akebono Brake Corporation, an original-equipment brake supplier and developer of ceramic brake friction material.

If worn or noisy front pads are the cause of your braking complaint, this set replaces them. For balanced, even braking, replace both sides of the axle together as a matched set. This set fits the front axle only; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details and the full application list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these the right Chevy Malibu brake pads for a 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu?

They are a direct-fit front-axle set for the 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year and engine.

Are these front or rear brake pads?

This ACT1160 set is for the front axle. Confirm your application on the Buyer's Guide tab before ordering.

What are the benefits of Akebono ProACT ultra premium ceramic brake pads?

They use OE-validated, application-specific ceramic formulations with precision-cut pressure plates and engineered chamfers and slots, designed for braking performance and NVH control.

What do these Akebono ProACT ceramic pads do?

The caliper presses the pads against the rotor to create the friction that slows the vehicle. Squealing, grinding or thin friction material are signs the pads may need replacing.

Should I replace both sides at once?

For even, balanced braking it is best practice to replace the pads on both sides of the axle together as a matched set.
