PowerStop Z17 Rear Ceramic Brake Pads 17-898 — Low-Dust, Quiet OE-Style Replacement with Hardware

PowerStop Z17 Replacement Ceramic Brake Pads Rear 17-898 are a direct-fit, low-dust ceramic pad set with stainless-steel hardware designed to deliver quiet, dependable everyday braking for compatible rear axle applications.

These Z17 Evolution ceramic pads are engineered as an OE-style replacement that improves on basic aftermarket options by combining a low-dust ceramic compound, chamfered and slotted faces, and rubberized multi-layer shims. Each box includes the rear pad set and stainless-steel installation hardware so you can do a straightforward bolt-on swap without modifying your vehicle. They are tailored for numerous Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram rear disc applications listed in the fitment section.

How do these pads improve daily driving comfort?

The Z17 formula prioritizes quiet, consistent braking through design features that reduce vibration and noise. Rubberized shims and chamfered edges minimize squeal while slotted faces help shed gases and accelerate break-in for predictable pedal feel.

• Multi-layer rubberized shims reduce brake squeal and vibrations
• Chamfered and slotted friction faces promote smooth initial engagement
• Ceramic compound produces less dust for cleaner wheels

Will installation require special tools or modifications?

Installation is designed to be bolt-on and user friendly: no modifications to calipers or mounting points are required. The included stainless-steel hardware provides the clips and plates needed for a proper fit, speeding up a DIY replacement.

• Includes all necessary stainless-steel installation hardware
• Standard hand tools and a jack are typically sufficient for rear pad replacement
• Direct-fit design matches OE mounting dimensions

What performance can I expect in terms of stopping power and dust?

These ceramic pads deliver dependable stopping suitable for everyday driving, balancing consistent bite with controlled wear. The low-dust ceramic formulation reduces residue on wheels compared with many semi-metallic pads, keeping wheels cleaner between washes.

• Engineered for reliable, repeatable braking in normal driving
• Low-dust ceramic compound minimizes wheel soiling
• Thermally scorched surfaces for quicker break-in and steady performance

How durable are the pads and what warranty is included?

The Z17 pads are built for routine driving conditions and include corrosion-resistant stainless-steel hardware for long-lasting fitment. PowerStop backs this product with a limited warranty covering 12 months or 12,000 miles to safeguard against certain defects in materials and workmanship.

• Stainless-steel hardware resists corrosion and maintains proper pad positioning
