Renew the friction surface of your rear disc brakes with the Bendix brake pad CFC974A, a copper-free pad from Bendix's Premium Copper-Free line. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2002-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe, and is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
When you press the brake pedal, the pads clamp against the rotor to create the friction that slows the vehicle. That friction material wears thin with use. This disc brake pad set is intended to replace worn rear pads on the listed vehicles. If you're shopping for 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 brake pads for the rear axle, this is the Bendix option cataloged for it.
Signs your rear pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding when braking, longer stopping distances, or friction material worn thin at inspection. Other brake problems can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before you replace parts. Replacing the pads on both sides of the axle at the same time is recommended for even, balanced braking. Inspect the rotors and hardware during the job, and follow the vehicle service information for the procedure and torque specifications.
