Wagner Brake QC1160 front brake pad for the 2007-2012 Chevrolet Malibu and other vehicles is a ceramic pad designed for quieter braking. This Wagner Brake disc brake pad set has an application-specific design and a laser-shaped friction that spreads out heat, sound and vibration.
- ThermoQuiet line with the Wagner OE25™ zero-copper friction formulation
- Integrally Molded Insulator (IMI™) technology for quieter operation
- Formulation dissipates heat for lasting friction performance and reduced brake fade
- Reduced rotor wear, which helps cut down on brake dust
- On select applications, IMI™ integrates the friction material, backing plate and insulator into one pad
Squealing or grinding when you brake, a longer stopping distance or thin friction material can mean the pads are worn, but a sticking caliper or a scored rotor can produce the same signs, so find the cause before you replace them.
It is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models, with brake pads for the 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR and the 2006-2010 Pontiac G6 among them. Other vehicles are listed in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
