The Bosch BP231 rear brake pad for the 1981 Nissan Maxima and other vehicles is a copper-free ceramic brake pad from the Bosch QuietCast line, made for quiet performance and low brake dust.
- Ceramic friction material in a patented copper-free formula with an advanced aerospace alloy, compliant with 2025 Copper Free legislation
- OE style rubber core shims come pre-attached; the multilayer rubber-to-steel bond lowers noise and adds strength and corrosion resistance
- Powder-coated backing plate prevents rust and corrosion
- Protective transfer layer extends pad and rotor life
- Synthetic lubricant is included to reduce resistance on sliding contact points
Grinding or squealing, a longer stopping distance or a pull to one side can mean the pads are worn. Before you replace them, rule out a sticking caliper or a damaged rotor, since either one can bring on a similar noise or pull.
It is a direct-fit brake pad for the 1981 Nissan Maxima, the 1982-1983 Nissan 200SX and the 1981 Nissan 810.
