Bring firm, quiet stopping power back to the rear axle with the PowerStop Disc Brake Pad Set 17-1729. This rear disc brake pad set is a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2016 Mazda 3 and 2014-2016 Mazda 3 Sport, dropping into the listed applications so worn friction material can be swapped for a fresh set.
Signs the rear pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding when braking, a thin remaining friction layer, or reduced braking bite. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the brake system before ordering; if worn rear pads are the issue, this set replaces them. As a best practice, replace the pads on both sides of the axle together as a matched set for even, balanced braking, and inspect the rotors and hardware during the job.
Interchange: Manufacturer part number 17-1729 (also 171729).
