It fits many vehicles, among them the 2010-2019 Subaru Outback, 2014-2018 Subaru Forester and 2005-2019 Subaru Legacy, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
When you press the brake pedal, the caliper clamps the pads against the rotor, and the friction slows the wheel. Worn pads can show up as squealing or grinding, a longer stopping distance, or pad material that looks thin. If worn front pads are the cause, this set replaces them. Replacing the pads on both sides of the axle at the same time is recommended for even, balanced braking.
Is this the right Subaru Forester brake pad for my 2014-2018 model?
Yes. This pad set is cataloged for the front position on the 2014-2018 Subaru Forester, and the Buyer's Guide tab shows the full application details.
Are these Subaru Outback front brake pads?
Yes. They are cataloged for the front position on the 2010-2019 Subaru Outback and are also listed for the 2005-2019 Subaru Legacy.
What friction material do these pads use?
They are DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic pads. They use selected original equipment manufacturer formulations and friction materials designed for modern vehicles with ABS and automated braking systems.
What are signs my front brake pads may need replacing?
Squealing or grinding when braking, a longer stopping distance, a changed pedal feel, or visibly thin pad material can point to worn pads. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
Should I replace the pads on both front wheels at once?
Yes. Replacing the pads on both sides of the axle together is recommended for even, balanced braking. Inspect the rotors and follow the vehicle service information during installation.
