Bosch is launching a major brake program and introducing QuietCast™ Premium Disc Brake Pads.
QuietCast pads feature a rubber-core shim that promotes silent operation. The brake pad program, with 789 part numbers, will provide 95 percent coverage for all makes and models of Asian, domestic and European automobiles, light trucks and SUVs throughout the United States and Canada.
“QuietCast disc brake pads offer platform-specific ceramic, semi-metallic and non-asbestos organic (NAO) formulations, rubber-core shims and Molded Shim Technology (MST) on selected applications,“ says Rob Backode, Director of Product Management, for Bosch Automotive Aftermarket Brake Components North America. “These unique OE style features provide quiet, outstanding braking performance, as well as long life. QuietCast brake pads are engineered, manufactured, distributed and backed by Bosch.”
Every QuietCast brake pad is fitted with a pre-attached rubber core shim exclusively offered by Bosch in the aftermarket. The laminated rubber core shim is heat- and pressure-cured between two layers of steel. This produces lower noise, increased strength and corrosion resistance. The unique rubber core in the shim dampens brake sound vibration, Backode indicates.
QuietCast Disc Brake Pads feature advanced platform specific friction formulations with extensive testing, using the same testing procedures Bosch uses for OE friction.
Bosch brakes match the type of brakes originally installed. If the vehicle manufacturer installed ceramic, Bosch replaces with ceramic. If OE is semi-metallic, Bosch replaces with semi-metallic, and so on, including non-asbestos organic, and low mets – Bosch matches the OE friction type. And Bosch adds more abutment clip hardware kits than other national brands, more electronic wear sensors than other national brands, and pure synthetic brake lube packets, it states.
The pads are in high impact packaging in tri-lingual NOM50 compliant boxes with illustrated labels showing the axle position and pad diagram. All pads are individually wrapped for extra protection
