Bring smooth, quiet stopping power back to your classic Volvo with the Wagner QuickStop ZD43A Ceramic Front Disc Brake Pad Set. This application-specific set installs at the front axle as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of Volvos, including the 1990-1993 240, the 1967-1974 142 and 144, and the 1969-1975 164 — see the full application list below.
- Zero-copper ceramic friction: features Wagner's OE25 zero-copper ceramic friction formulation.
- Even performance: developed with a 100% post-cure process and designed to deliver consistent, even friction throughout the life of the pad.
- Reduced noise: slotted pads with chamfered edges and an application-specific design engineered to reduce noise-causing vibration.
- Hardware & shims: includes pad shims; premium stainless-steel hardware and OE-style lubricant are included in most applications. A wear sensor and abutment clips are not included.
Compared with conventional semi-metallic pads, this ceramic friction is designed to run cleaner and quieter for a smooth, consistent pedal feel during everyday street driving. Signs the front pads may need replacing include squealing, reduced braking feel, or a thinning friction layer — if worn front pads are the cause, this set replaces them. For even, balanced braking, replace the pads on both front wheels together and inspect the rotors as directed by the service procedure. Cross-references to FMSI 7254-D43. Country of origin: United States.

Are these ceramic brake pads?
Yes — they use Wagner's OE25 zero-copper ceramic friction formulation, designed to run cleaner and quieter than conventional semi-metallic pads during everyday street driving.
Does the set include hardware?
It includes pad shims. Premium stainless-steel hardware and OE-style lubricant are included in most applications; a wear sensor and abutment clips are not included.
Which position does this set cover?
The front axle. It supplies the pads for both front wheels on the listed applications.
My front brakes are squealing — will these fix it?
Squealing can be a sign the pads are worn. If worn front pads are the cause, this set replaces them; have the brakes inspected to confirm the source before replacing.
