Product Description
-------------------
Today, one of every three Asian, Domestic, and European
vehicles on the road in North America includes Bosch braking
components. That's because Bosch has been a key player in the
braking industry since applying for its first brake system design
patent in 1936. The Bosch QuietCast line draws on this robust
experience to deliver OE quality performance, industry-leading
strength and durability, and exclusive innovations including
Molded Shim Technology (MST). QuietCast pads feature the
industry's best pre-attached OE style multilayer rubber core
shims, ensuring the highest quality bond between rubber and
steel, for lower noise, increased strength, and superior
corrosion resistance. The proprietary Ceramic friction material
is meticulously engineered to achieve superior performance,
exceptional stopping power, and quiet operation with low dust.
Corrosion and rust resistant powder-coated backing plates deliver
increased product life. OE style slots and chamfers ensure
premium quality, fit, and function. Set includes pads for 1 axle
(2 wheels), hardware kit (where available), and synthetic
lubricant for reduced resistance on sliding contact points.
Compatible with select vehicles (Note: vehicle trim level may
affect fitment - verify specific vehicle fitment details with fit
checker above).

Today, one of every three Asian, Domestic and European vehicles
on the road in North America includes Bosch braking components.
That’s because Bosch has been a key player in the braking
industry since applying for its first brake system design patent
in 1936. Bosch introduced Antilock Braking technology to market,
as well as Electronic Stability Control systems. Now Bosch brings
over 70 years of OE braking expertise to the aftermarket with
Bosch QuietCast Premium Disc Brake Pads.
Quiet operation and reliable braking performance QuietCast
raises aftermarket brake pad technology to a whole new level.
Employing the industry’s best pre-attached, rubber core shims and
Molded Shim Technology (on selected applications); QuietCast
delivers the quiet operation you expect with the durability and
long life that are the hallmarks of all Bosch products. Bosch is
the name you can trust every time you put on the brakes.
Engineered, Manufactured, Distributed and Backed by Bosch
---------------------------------------------------------
Bosch is closely involved in every step of the QuietCast process.
From a worldwide R&D network with 2,500 associates and nine test
tracks, to dedicated engineers that source and rigorously test
all friction materials and formulations, QuietCast brake products
are manufactured under the same exacting quality standards as OE
components and systems.

The Complete Brake Pad Solution
-------------------------------
There’s more to value than just a good price. Value also includes
quality, extensive coverage, reliable supply and manufacturer
support. And that’s just what you get with Bosch. The QuietCast
Premium Disc Brake Pad program offers top quality, availability,
competitive pricing and full coverage for all makes and models of
Domestic, Asian and European automobiles, light trucks and SUVs.
Formulations include platform-specific ceramic, semi-metallic and
non-asbestos (NAO).
The Science Behind the Silence
------------------------------
Every Bosch QuietCast Disc Brake Pad is fitted with the
industry’s best pre-attached rubber core shim. This shim style is
the most predominant type used by OE manufacturers and is
exclusively offered by Bosch for the independent aftermarket.
The laminated rubber-core shim is heat and pressure cured between
two layers of steel (see Figure 1, site page). This process
ensures the highest quality bonding of the rubber to steel
resulting in lower noise, increased strength, and corrosion
resistance. Sound vibrations pass through the friction material
and backing plate, but are dissipated by the unique rubber core
in the shim for remarkable noise dampening.
About Molded Shim Technology (MST)
----------------------------------
At the time of pressing, heat, adhesive and pressure mold the
multi-layer shim to the backing plate and friction material
creating an integrally molded unit. The shim stays attached
throughout the life of the pad; it won’t walk or slide on the
backing plate, providing maximum stability resulting in quieter
shim performance over the life of the pad.
