Akebono ProACT Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:ACT1120
Akebono ProACT ACT1679A rear brake pad for the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 and other vehicles uses an OE-validated, application-specific ceramic formulation for braking performance and NVH control.
Squealing, grinding or a pulsing pedal can mean the rear pads are worn, though a worn rotor or a sticking caliper can produce the same signs, so find the cause before you replace anything. Rear pads are normally replaced on both sides together.
These Akebono ProACT brake pads are a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 and the 2014-2017 Mazda 3 (Mexico Production).
