Bosch Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:BP978
$61.99

Designed to reduce noise at the rear axle, the BOSCH brake pad BP978 comes from Bosch's QuietCast line. This rear disc brake pad set fits the 2007-2015 Audi Q7, the 2003-2006 and 2008-2010 Porsche Cayenne, and the 2004-2010 Volkswagen Touareg.

BOSCH QuietCast brake pads draw on Bosch's OE braking heritage, which dates back to 1927. Bosch engineers formulated and tested the friction material. It uses an advanced aerospace alloy in a patented copper-free formula that complies with 2025 Copper Free legislation.

  • Rubber-core shims: OE-style multilayer shims come pre-attached. They bond rubber and steel to help lower noise, add strength and resist corrosion.
  • PTFE- and rubber-coated hardware: Helps reduce vibration and noise and is designed to keep the pads from binding in the caliper.
  • Powder-coated backing plate: Resists rust and corrosion to help extend pad life.
  • Protective transfer layer: Designed to help extend pad and rotor life.

Synthetic lubricant is included to help reduce resistance at the sliding contact points. Your rear pads may need replacing if you notice any of these signs:

  • Grinding or squealing when braking
  • Longer stopping distances
  • Pads worn thin on inspection

For even, balanced braking, replace the pads on both rear wheels at the same time. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific fitment.
