Silence front-brake noise and keep your Toyota stopping smoothly with the Wagner ThermoQuiet Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set QC436A. This front-axle pad set drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1998 Toyota Tacoma [All], the 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner [All], and the 2003-2004 Toyota Tacoma [All].
- Zero-copper ceramic friction: Built on Wagner's OE25 zero-copper ceramic formulation for cleaner braking.
- Quieter operation: IMI (Integrally Molded Insulator) technology combines the friction material, backing plate, and insulator into a one-piece pad on select applications, and laser-shaped friction spreads out heat, sound, and vibration to help reduce noise.
- Long life & cleaner wheels: The formulation is designed to dissipate heat for long-lasting friction performance and reduced brake fade, while helping cut rotor wear and brake dust during everyday street driving.
- Ready to fit: Slotted with chamfered edges and includes pad shims plus a mechanical wear sensor. Abutment clips are not included.
FMSI: 7549-D436. Manufacturer part number QC436A. Country of origin: United States.
Sold as a front-axle set; one set (Quantity Per Application: 1) services the front brakes. Replace the pads on both front wheels together as a matched set and inspect the rotors for even, balanced braking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which vehicles does the QC436A fit?
It's a front-axle pad set for the 1995-1998 and 2003-2004 Toyota Tacoma [All] and the 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner [All]. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
What hardware comes in the set?
The set includes pad shims and a mechanical wear sensor. Abutment clips are not included — consult the vehicle service information for the correct hardware and whether it may be reused.
What are these brake pads made of?
They use a ceramic friction material based on Wagner's OE25 zero-copper formulation, with a slotted design and chamfered edges.
Are ceramic pads quieter and cleaner than semi-metallic?
For everyday street driving, ceramic formulations typically run quieter and produce less visible dust; the IMI insulator and laser-shaped friction are designed to help reduce noise.
How do I know when to replace these pads?
Signs the pads may need replacing include squeal from the wear indicator, reduced braking response, or thin remaining friction material. Replace both front pads as a set and inspect the rotors.
