ABS 36049 Brake Pads

ABS 36049 Brake Pads: Precision Performance for Volvo Disc Brakes

The ABS 36049 Brake Pads are engineered to deliver exceptional stopping power, durability, and quiet operation across a wide range of Volvo models. Designed as an OEM replacement, these pads maintain the original braking feel while offering improved wear characteristics.

Key Features & Benefits

• Optimized Friction Formula: The proprietary blend balances high friction for rapid deceleration with low noise and vibration, ensuring a smooth driving experience.
• Extended Service Life: Advanced wear-resistant compounds reduce pad thickness loss, extending the interval between replacements without compromising safety.
Consistent Performance in All Conditions: Tested under wet, dry, and high-temperature scenarios to guarantee reliable braking on highways, city streets, and mountainous terrain.
• Low Dust Generation: The engineered surface minimizes particulate buildup, keeping wheels cleaner and reducing brake dust on the vehicle’s paintwork.
• Compatibility: Specifically calibrated for Volvo models such as the 240, 260, 740, 760, 780, 940, 960, S90 I, V90, and many others listed in the product catalog.

Installation Overview

Installing the ABS 36049 Brake Pads is straightforward for technicians familiar with disc brake systems. The pads fit directly into existing caliper housings without requiring modifications to the rotor or mounting hardware. A quick inspection of the brake fluid level and a check for any worn rotors are recommended before installation.

Compatibility Matrix

The ABS 36049 Brake Pads are available in several configurations to match specific Volvo models and drivetrain layouts. Below is a concise reference for common applications:

• Rear Disc Brakes (4‑piece set): Suitable for Volvo 240, 260, 740, 760, 780, 940, 960, S90 I, V90.
• Front Disc Brakes (optional upgrade): Compatible with models that feature front disc brakes; consult the technical sheet for exact fitment.
• High‑Performance Variants: For vehicles requiring enhanced braking under heavy load or spirited driving conditions, a high‑friction version is available.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspection: Check pad wear every 10,000 km or during routine service intervals. Replace when thickness approaches the minimum operating level.
• Rotor Condition: Inspect rotors for scoring or warping; resurfacing may be necessary to maintain optimal contact with the pads.
• Brake Fluid Check: Ensure fluid is within manufacturer specifications; replace if contaminated or at low levels.
• Avoid Overheating: During prolonged hard braking, allow brakes to cool to prevent glazing of pad surfaces.
