Quiet your rear brakes and keep everyday stops smooth with the Wagner ThermoQuiet PD1033A Ceramic Rear Disc Brake Pad Set. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the rear axle of the 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, 2005-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6, and 2007-2009 Saturn Aura (All engines).
- Zero-copper formulation: built on Wagner's OE25 copper-free ceramic friction compound.
- Quieter operation: a unique Integrally Molded Insulator (IMI) and laser-shaped friction spread out heat, sound and vibration to reduce noise.
- Cleaner wheels: the proprietary ceramic formulation helps cut brake dust and reduce rotor wear during everyday street driving.
- Included hardware: pad shims and abutment clips are included; a pad wear sensor is not.
The formulation is designed to dissipate heat for long-lasting friction performance and reduced brake fade, while chamfered edges and slots help keep braking quiet and smooth. For select applications, IMI technology integrates the friction material, backing plate and insulator into a one-piece pad. Each listed vehicle uses one set (quantity per application: 1), which covers the rear axle — replacing the pads on both sides together as a matched set is recommended for even, balanced braking. If worn or noisy rear pads are the cause of your braking complaint, this set replaces them. Country of origin: United States.

Is mounting hardware included?
Pad shims and abutment clips are included. A pad wear sensor is not included; consult the vehicle service information for the correct hardware and torque specs.
What are the pads made of?
A ceramic friction material using Wagner's zero-copper OE25 formulation, designed for quieter operation and low dust during everyday street driving.
Does this set cover both rear wheels?
Yes, the set supplies the pads for the rear axle; each listed application uses one set (quantity per application: 1). Replacing both sides together as a matched set is recommended.
Should I replace my rotors too?
Inspect the rear rotors when fitting new pads; if they're worn beyond spec, resurface or replace them. Fitting pads as a matched set helps promote even, balanced braking.
