- Fits: 1968-1985 Chevrolet Impala and other vehicles

A squeal or scraping noise, longer stops or a pad worn thin can mean the front pads are due. During a brake service, measure the remaining friction material and compare it with the new-pad thickness below. Uneven wear can come from elsewhere in the brake, so find the cause before replacing the pads.
Fits
It also fits the 1974-1983 Jeep Cherokee and the 1969-1981 Chevrolet Camaro, among many other vehicles. For Chevy Impala brake pads, the 1968-1985 car takes one set of four.
