Give your truck or van the severe-duty stopping power it deserves with the PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Disc Brake Pad Set Z36-1268 (Z361268). Built with a carbon-fiber-infused ceramic compound engineered as an upgrade over stock brakes, this set is designed to reduce brake dust and quiet noise for those who tow, haul, and head off-road. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a range of Sprinter and Workhorse applications, including the 2007-2009 Dodge Sprinter 3500, 2007-2021 Freightliner Sprinter 3500, 2010-2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, and 2004-2011 Workhorse W42 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and the correct front or rear position for your vehicle.
- Carbon-fiber ceramic formula: infused with carbon fiber to strengthen the compound and deliver severe-duty stopping power for trucks, SUVs, and 4x4's.
- Low dust & quiet: low-dust formulation verified in 3rd-party on-vehicle testing, with chamfered and slotted pads plus multi-layer stainless-steel shims for heat dissipation and virtually noise-free braking.
- Built to last: positive mold technology for consistent wear, a thermal-scorched surface for a fast break-in, and a powder-coated backing plate that resists rust and corrosion for extended pad life.
- Ready to install: includes premium stainless-steel hardware and ceramic brake lubricant.
For even, balanced braking, it's best to replace the pads on both sides of the axle together as a matched set.
