Silence rear brake noise and keep everyday stops smooth with the Akebono ProACT Ultra-Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set (ACT1612), a rear-axle pad set that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Lincoln, Ram and Volkswagen applications. Akebono, an originator of ceramic brake technology and a factory brand on many models, engineers these pads with a focus on noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) control.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is this a front or rear brake pad set?
Per the catalog, ACT1612 is a rear-axle disc brake pad set. Confirm your vehicle in the Buyer's Guide before ordering.
What kind of friction material are these pads?
They use Akebono's OE-validated, application-specific ceramic formulation, engineered with a focus on noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) control.
How do ceramic pads compare to semi-metallic for daily driving?
For everyday street driving, ceramic pads typically produce less, lighter-colored dust and quieter operation, with a smooth, consistent pedal feel compared to conventional semi-metallic pads.
Do I need to replace both sides?
This set covers one axle. Replacing both sides together as a matched set is recommended for even, balanced braking, though it isn't strictly required.
What are signs my rear pads may need replacing?
Common signs include squealing or grinding, reduced braking, longer stopping distances, or a pulsing pedal. Diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can have other sources.
