Noise when braking, a pad worn thin or a pedal that feels different can mean the rear pads are worn. If worn pads are the cause, this set replaces them. During a brake service, look at the rear rotors for grooves or cracks and at how much pad material is left, since a rotor or caliper fault can give you similar noises.
Fits
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2018-2023 Hyundai Kona and the 2021-2024 Kia Seltos. One set covers the rear axle, with a pair of pads at each wheel.
