Akebono ProACT Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:ACT1120
The Akebono ProACT rear brake pad set ACT1398 is an ultra-premium ceramic kit built around an OE-validated friction formulation made for its specific applications, and it is designed for optimal braking performance and NVH control. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2009-2012 Hyundai Elantra, 2015-2019 Hyundai Sonata and 2016-2020 Kia Optima. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Akebono ProACT ultra premium ceramic brake pads combine application-specific ceramic formulations with precision-cut pressure plates. Scientifically engineered chamfers and slots help control noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).
Every disc brake pad wears down with use. Signs that your rear pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding, longer stopping distances, visibly thin friction material, or a pad-wear warning on vehicles that have one. Replace the pads on both sides of the rear axle together for balanced braking. Inspect the rotors at the same time, and follow the vehicle service information for installation and bedding-in.
