The Akebono ProACT ACT965 front brake pad for the 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 and other vehicles uses an OE-validated, application-specific ceramic formulation. Akebono ProACT brake pads are made by the company that originated ceramic brake technology.
- A disc brake pad kit from the ProACT Ultra-Premium line
- Precision-cut pressure plates on each pad
- Scientifically engineered chamfers and slots, designed for braking performance and noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) control
- Akebono is an original equipment brake brand and a leader in friction material development and production
- Akebono focuses on NVH analysis and control and runs technical and R&D facilities in Japan, the United States and France
Squealing, grinding or a pull to one side under braking can mean these front brake pads are worn, though a scored rotor or a sticking caliper may be the source, so pin down the cause before replacing anything.
The 2003-2008 Ram 2500 and the 2003-2008 Ram 3500 are direct-fit applications for this front brake pad, as are other Dodge and Ram models. If your truck isn't named here, open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine.
