The Wagner Brake ZD1544 rear brake pad for the 2011-2016 Hyundai Elantra and other vehicles presses against the rear rotors to slow and stop the car. This Wagner Brake disc brake pad set uses a ceramic friction compound with slotted, chamfered pads.
- Part of the Wagner QuickStop (QS™) line, designed and tested to restore like-new braking performance.
- A 100% post-cure process gives even friction performance through the life of the pad.
- OE fit and form design delivers consistent, even braking as the pad wears.
- Application-specific design reduces noise-causing vibration.
- Friction materials are formulated for the needs of each vehicle application.
- Uses the Wagner OE25™ zero-copper friction formulation.
Rear pads that are wearing thin can make a high-pitched squeal from the wear sensor, a grinding sound or a longer stop. With the car parked, the engine off and the brakes cool, a look through the wheel spokes can show how much friction material is left and whether the rotor is scored. If the pads still look thick, have a shop look at the rotors and calipers before you replace anything.
These pads fit the rear brakes of the 2014-2016 Kia Optima, and they're also rear brake pads for the 2017 Kia Forte, with one set doing the rear axle on each car. Driving a different Hyundai or Kia? Look your car up in the "Vehicles it fits" section before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the right rear pad if I need 2012 or 2016 Hyundai Elantra brake pads?
Yes. The Wagner Brake ZD1544 fits the rear brakes of the 2011-2016 Hyundai Elantra, which covers both of those years, and one set does the rear axle.
What hardware comes with the Wagner Brake ZD1544 rear pads?
The Wagner Brake ZD1544 set includes pad shims, abutment clips and a mechanical pad wear sensor.
Do these Wagner QuickStop pads use a ceramic, zero-copper formulation?
Yes. These rear pads use a ceramic friction material and the Wagner OE25™ zero-copper friction formulation.
What does a squeal from this pad's wear sensor mean?
These rear pads have a mechanical wear sensor designed to squeal when the friction material gets low; a grinding sound or longer stops can also mean the pads are worn.
Why do Wagner QuickStop rear pads go through a post-cure process?
These QuickStop rear pads are 100% post-cured so their friction performance stays even over the whole life of the pad.
