Bosch QuietCast Rear Ceramic Brake Pads BC1761 — Rear Axle Set, Low Dust & Quiet Stop

BOSCH BC1761 QuietCast rear ceramic brake pads deliver OE-caliber stopping power with reduced noise and low dust for a cleaner, quieter drive.

Built from decades of Bosch braking experience, the QuietCast BC1761 is a rear axle brake pad set engineered for reliable, quiet braking on compatible Audi and Volkswagen models. These pads pair a proprietary ceramic friction blend with Bosch’s Molded Shim Technology (MST) and corrosion-resistant backing plates to give long service life, consistent pedal feel, and minimized brake dust.

How do these pads reduce noise compared with standard replacements?

The QuietCast set uses pre-attached multilayer rubber-core shims molded to the steel backing plate, which improves the bond and dampens vibrations that produce squeal. The ceramic friction formulation also creates smoother engagement, further cutting noise during city and highway driving.

• Molded Shim Technology (MST) for vibration damping
• Pre-attached OE-style multilayer shims for stable contact
• Ceramic friction material designed for quieter brake engagement

Will these pads keep my wheels cleaner by producing less dust?

Yes — the engineered ceramic compound generates lower dust levels than many semi-metallic pads, so wheel surfaces stay cleaner between washes. Lower dust also means less buildup on calipers and rotors, which helps maintain consistent braking performance.

• Ceramic formulation for low dust during use
• Smoother friction reduces abrasive residue
• Helps extend aesthetic life of wheels and brake components

What durability and corrosion protections are included?

Bosch applies a powder-coated backing plate to resist rust and corrosion, extending pad life in wet or salty conditions. OE-style slots and chamfers are cut for reliable fit and even wear, and the set includes synthetic lubricant to reduce sticking at sliding contact points.

• Powder-coated steel backing plate for corrosion resistance
• OE-style slots and chamfers for even wear and fitment
• Included synthetic lubricant and hardware kit (where applicable)

Which vehicles are compatible with the BC1761 rear pad set?

These pads are intended for specific Audi and Volkswagen models — verify exact fitment using your vehicle details before purchase, as trim level or engine options can affect compatibility. The set covers many model years across A3, Q3, TT, Golf, Jetta, Tiguan and others listed by Bosch.

• Designed for rear axle; sold as a 2-wheel pad set plus hardware where available
• Common fits include Audi A3, Q3, TT variants and multiple VW models
• Always confirm fit using Bosch or site-specific vehicle fit checker

Who is this for: The BOSCH BC1761 QuietCast rear ceramic brake pads suit drivers of compatible Audi and Volkswagen vehicles who prioritize quieter stops, lower wheel dust, and OEM-level fit and durability. They are a good match for owners seeking a long-lasting aftermarket pad that closely mirrors original equipment performance without compromising comfort or cleanliness.
