Akebono ProACT Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:ACT1903
Akebono ProACT ACT1729 rear brake pad for the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 and other vehicles is a ceramic pad that slows the car by pressing against the rotor, with a design focused on NVH control (noise, vibration and harshness).
Grinding, squealing or longer stopping distances can mean the pads are worn. A sticking caliper, worn rotors or seized caliper slide pins produce similar symptoms, so track down which one it is before you buy pads.
This brake pad also fits the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 Sport and the 2016 Mazda CX-3.
