The Akebono ProACT ACT841 front brake pad for the 2001-2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser and 2003-2005 Dodge Neon is a ceramic kit from the company that originated ceramic brake technology.
- As one of the Akebono ProACT ultra premium ceramic brake pads, this set uses an OE-validated, application-specific formulation.
- Precision-cut pressure plates with engineered chamfers and slots are designed for braking performance and noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) control.
- Akebono is an original equipment brake brand on many models and North America's leading supplier of advanced brake technology.
- Its friction development focuses on NVH analysis and control, backed by technical and R&D centers in Japan, the United States and France.
These pads clamp the front rotors to slow the car. A high-pitched squeal when braking, a grinding sound or friction material worn thin can mean the front pads are due. Before you replace them, look for a sticking caliper slide or a scored rotor, since either one can also cause brake noise or uneven pad wear.
This front disc brake pad set is a direct fit for the 2001-2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser and the 2003-2005 Dodge Neon, and either car takes one set for its front axle.
