Give your truck or SUV the severe-duty stopping power it deserves with the PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set (Z36-436). This front-axle set drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner and 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma. Built with a low-dust ceramic formula infused with carbon-fiber to strengthen the compound, it's engineered as an upgrade over stock brakes for those who tow, haul, and head off-road.
- Carbon-fiber ceramic formulation: designed to provide severe-duty stopping power for trucks, SUVs, and 4x4's, with a low-dust formula verified in 3rd-party on-vehicle testing.
- Positive mold technology & thermal-scorched surface: promotes consistent wear and performance plus a fast break-in.
- Chamfered and slotted with multi-layer stainless-steel shims: designed for noise-free braking and increased heat dissipation.
- Powder-coated backing plate: resists rust and corrosion to help provide extended pad life.
Premium stainless-steel hardware and ceramic brake lubricant are included to make the brake job easier. Worn pads may show up as reduced braking, squealing, grinding, or a pulsating pedal — if the front pads are the cause, this set replaces them. For even, balanced braking, replace both sides of the axle together as a matched set.
