Centric Parts 105.09721 front brake pad for the 2003-2005 Saab 9-3 is built with Posi Quiet ceramic friction material, shims and hardware to cut noise and vibration. These Centric Parts brake pads hold stable friction across a wide temperature range.
Squealing, a longer stopping distance or the car pulling when you brake can mean the pads are worn. Worn rotors or a sticking caliper can bring on noise or pulling too, so during a brake service measure the remaining pad material and look at the rotor face for grooves before deciding it is the pads.
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2005 Saab 9-3, which takes one set of four pads.
