ABS 36690 Brake Pads

ABS 36690 Brake Pads

The ABS 36690 Brake Pads are a high‑performance, rear‑axle disc brake component designed for a wide range of vehicles including Mitsubishi, Chrysler, Dodge, Hyundai, and other OEM models. These pads deliver consistent stopping power, reduced fade under heavy use, and a quiet, smooth braking experience.

Key Features

• Material Composition: Made from advanced ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) reinforced with high‑temperature ceramic fibers to withstand extreme heat while maintaining structural integrity.
• Heat Resistance: Engineered to operate effectively up to 600 °C, ensuring reliable performance during spirited driving or prolonged braking sessions.
• Low Noise & Vibration: The pad design incorporates a low‑friction interface that minimizes squeal and vibration, providing a quieter ride.
• Long Life: Optimized wear patterns extend pad life by up to 20% compared with standard aftermarket options.
• Compatibility: Fits rear disc brakes on models such as Mitsubishi Galant, Dodge Dakota, Hyundai Santamo, and many others. The set includes four pads (two per side) for complete replacement.

Installation Overview

Installing the ABS 36690 Brake Pads is straightforward:

1. Secure the vehicle on a jack stand and remove the rear wheels.
2. Detach the brake caliper by loosening the retaining bolts.
3. Remove the old pads, noting their orientation for correct placement.
4. Insert the new ABS pads, ensuring the wear indicator tabs align with the caliper bracket.
5. Re‑attach the caliper and torque all fasteners to manufacturer specifications.
6. Repeat on the opposite side before reattaching wheels and lowering the vehicle.

Performance Benefits

The ABS 36690 pads provide:

• Consistent Braking Force: Even wear across the pad surface ensures uniform pressure on the rotor, reducing stopping distance variability.
• Reduced Fade: High‑temperature ceramic fibers dissipate heat quickly, preventing brake fade during aggressive driving or heavy load conditions.
• Enhanced Durability: The ABS matrix resists cracking and delamination, extending service intervals.
• Quiet Operation: Low‑friction pads reduce noise, making the vehicle more pleasant to drive in urban environments.

Maintenance Tips

To keep your ABS 36690 pads performing at peak levels:

• Inspect pads every 10,000 km or after any significant braking event for uneven wear.
• Check rotor condition; replace if scored or warped beyond tolerance.
• Clean the brake assembly with a non‑abrasive cleaner to remove dust and debris that can affect pad adhesion.
• Use a torque wrench when reassembling caliper bolts to avoid over‑tightening, which can damage pads.

Compatibility Summary

The ABS 36690 set is tailored for rear disc brakes on the following vehicle families:

• Mitsubishi models: Galant (various generations), Space Runner, Sapporo III, Eclipse II, and others.
• Chrysler/Dodge lines: Sebring Coupe, Dodge Dakota, and related platforms.
• Hyundai variants: Santamo II, and other rear‑axle equipped models.

Each pad set includes a built‑in wear indicator that provides a visual cue when replacement is necessary, ensuring safety and performance are never compromised.

Why Choose ABS 36690?

• OEM Quality: Designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for the supported vehicles.
• Reliability: Proven track record in real‑world driving conditions, from daily commuting to spirited weekend drives.
• Ease of Use: Standardized dimensions and mounting hardware simplify installation for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts alike.

With the ABS 36690 Brake Pads, drivers can trust that their rear braking system remains responsive, durable, and quiet—key attributes for safe and enjoyable driving experiences across a broad spectrum of vehicles.
