Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:1551-1551-00
Built for a consistent pedal feel and quick brake response, the Dynamic Friction Company DFC 5000 Advanced front brake pads, part number 1551-0052-00, use a semi-metallic friction formulation. They fit many vehicles, among them the 1971-1985 Chevrolet Impala, 1977-1983 Jeep Cherokee and 1975 Chevrolet Malibu. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
This disc brake pad set comes from Dynamic Friction's DFC 5000 Advanced line, which is formulated for each axle on every vehicle and draws on selected original equipment manufacturer formulations.
Front brake pads clamp against the spinning rotor to create the friction that slows each wheel. Squealing or grinding under braking, longer stopping distances, a vibrating pedal or visibly thin friction material are signs the pads may need replacing. Diagnose the cause first, because some of these symptoms can also come from rotors or other brake parts. Replacing the pads on both front wheels at the same time is recommended for even, balanced braking.

What are the signs my front brake pads may need replacing?
Common signs include squealing or grinding when braking, longer stopping distances, a vibrating pedal or thin pad material. Diagnose the cause first, since rotors or other brake parts can cause similar symptoms.
Should I replace the pads on both front wheels at once?
Yes. Replacing both sides together is recommended for even, balanced braking. Follow your vehicle's service information and inspect the rotors during the job.
