Wagner Brake QC1826 front brake pad for the 2015-2019 Hyundai Sonata and other vehicles is a ceramic disc brake pad set built around noise reduction.
- ThermoQuiet series with the Wagner OE25™ zero-copper friction formulation
- Integrally Molded Insulator (IMI™) technology for quieter operation, which combines friction material, backing plate and insulator in one pad for select applications
- Application-specific design and laser-shaped friction spread out heat, sound and vibration to reduce noise opportunities
- Formulation dissipates heat for long-lasting friction performance and reduced brake fade
- Proprietary formulation reduces rotor wear, which helps cut down on brake dust
Squealing, grinding or a longer stopping distance can mean the pads are worn, though rotors, calipers and other brake parts can produce similar signs. A first check is to look at the lining thickness through the wheel openings with the engine off and the brakes cool, and find the cause before you buy. One set covers the front axle, with pads for both front wheels.
Brake pads for the 2016-2020 Kia Optima are covered, and the pad also fits the 2019-2022 Kia Niro EV. More vehicles are shown in the "Vehicles it fits" section on this page.
