• Low Noise & Vibration: Designed with noise‑reduction technology to minimize squeal and chatter, enhancing overall driving comfort.
• Long Life Span: The pad compound is formulated for extended service life, reducing the frequency of replacements without compromising safety.
• Compatibility: Fits a variety of models including Ford Fiesta (4‑seat), TVR PANTHER, and many other vehicles that use standard disc brakes with the 36446 specification.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

The installation of the ABS 36446 Brake Pads follows standard disc brake replacement procedures. Below is a concise step‑by‑step guide to ensure proper fitment and optimal performance:

1. Safety First: Secure the vehicle on a flat surface, engage the parking brake, and use jack stands for support.
2. Remove Wheels: Detach the wheel to access the braking assembly.
3. Detach Caliper: Unbolt the caliper from the rotor. Carefully slide it away, supporting its weight with a cable or bracket to avoid stress on brake lines.
4. Remove Old Pads: Slide out the existing brake pads from the caliper bracket.
5. Install New Pads: Place the new ABS 36446 Brake Pads into the caliper bracket, ensuring correct orientation and alignment with the rotor surface.
6. Reattach Caliper: Reinstall the caliper over the pads and secure it with bolts. Tighten to manufacturer specifications.
7. Repeat on Opposite Side: Perform identical steps for the other wheel.
8. Test Brake Functionality: After reassembly, pump the brake pedal a few times to seat the pads against the rotors. Verify that the brakes engage smoothly and without noise.

Performance in Various Conditions

The ABS 36446 Brake Pads are engineered to maintain consistent stopping power under diverse environmental conditions:

• Wet Roads: The friction compound resists water accumulation, reducing the risk of hydroplaning.
• Dry Conditions: Offers high coefficient of friction for rapid deceleration.
• High‑Temperature Environments: Maintains structural integrity and performance during prolonged braking sessions such as hill descents or spirited driving.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect brake pads for wear; replace when thickness falls below the manufacturer’s minimum threshold.
• Keep rotors clean to prevent uneven pad wear and noise.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents that could damage pad surfaces.

Compatibility Summary

The ABS 36446 Brake Pads are suitable for a broad spectrum of vehicles, including but not limited to:

• Ford Fiesta (4‑seat)
• TVR PANTHER
• Various Ford models
• Other vehicles requiring a standard disc brake pad set with the 36446 specification.
