Renew the rear braking on your Cadillac, Saab or Saturn with this BOSCH brake pad set, part number BE709H, backed by Bosch's OE braking heritage dating back to 1927. It fits many vehicles as a direct-fit rear replacement, among them the 1997-2001 Cadillac Catera, 2001-2005 Saturn L300 and 1999-2003 Saab 9-3; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Signs that rear pads may need replacing include grinding or squealing when braking, visibly thin friction material, or a change in pedal feel. Have the brake system inspected to confirm the cause. Replacing the pads on both sides of the axle at the same time is recommended for even, balanced braking, and the rotors should be inspected during the job.
