Help keep your front brakes quiet with the BOSCH brake pad set BP837, part of Bosch's QuietCast line. This front disc brake pad set is a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2004 Volvo S40 and the 2000-2004 Volvo V40. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details.
Bosch QuietCast brake pads draw on the brand's OE braking heritage, which dates back to 1927. Bosch engineers formulate and test the friction material in this line with quality performance, strength and durability as the goals.
- Copper-free friction formula: Uses an advanced aerospace alloy and complies with 2025 Copper Free legislation.
- OE-style rubber-core shims: Pre-attached multilayer shims bond rubber to steel. They are designed to lower noise, add strength and resist corrosion.
- PTFE- and rubber-coated hardware: Helps reduce vibration and noise and helps keep the pads from binding in the caliper.
- Powder-coated backing plate: Helps resist rust and corrosion, which is intended to extend the life of the pad.
A protective transfer layer is designed to help extend both pad and rotor life. Synthetic lubricant is included in all applications to help reduce resistance at the sliding contact points.
Signs your front pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding under braking, longer stopping distances, or pad material that has worn thin. If worn pads are the cause, this set replaces them. Inspect the rotors and calipers during the job.
