Bosch 986494617 Brake Pad

Bosch 986494617 Brake Pad

The Bosch 986494617 Brake Pad is a high‑performance disc brake component designed for front wheel applications in a wide range of Hyundai and Kia models, including the Accent, i20, and Rio series. This product delivers reliable stopping power, low noise, and long service life, making it an ideal choice for both daily driving and spirited performance.

Key Features

• High‑Quality Friction Material: Engineered with a proprietary blend of ceramic and metallic fibers to provide consistent braking force while minimizing dust generation.
• Acoustic Wear Indicator: Integrated sound sensor that alerts the driver when pad wear reaches critical levels, enhancing safety and maintenance predictability.
• Low Noise & Vibration: Advanced pad geometry reduces squeal and chatter during braking, ensuring a quiet ride even under hard stops.
• Extended Service Life: Designed to last longer than standard pads, reducing replacement frequency without compromising performance.
• Compatibility: Fits front disc brakes on Hyundai Accent I20, Kia Rio II/III, and other models with a 256 mm rotor diameter. Specific part numbers for left/right sides are available (e.g., 581011GA00, 581011GE00).

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported on jack stands. Remove the wheel to access the brake assembly.
2. Remove Old Pads: Detach the caliper pistons, then slide out the worn pads from their slots.
3. Clean Components: Use a brake cleaner spray to remove dust and debris from the rotor surface and pad mounting areas.
4. Install New Pads: Place the new Bosch pads into the caliper bracket, aligning them with the mounting holes. Ensure the acoustic sensor is correctly positioned against the rotor.
5. Re‑insert Calipers: Carefully lower the caliper pistons back into place and secure the caliper brackets with bolts.
6. Check Alignment: Verify that the pads sit flush against the rotor without any gaps or misalignment.
7. Test Drive: After reassembly, perform a short test drive to confirm proper braking performance and listen for any abnormal noises.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect the brake pads for wear. The acoustic sensor will emit a high‑pitched tone when pads are nearing the end of life.
• Keep rotors clean to prevent uneven pad wear and reduce noise.
• Avoid driving with worn or damaged pads, as this can compromise braking efficiency and damage other brake components.
