ABS 36004 Brake Pads

ABS 36004 Brake Pads

The ABS 36004 Brake Pads are a high‑performance, OEM‑grade replacement designed to deliver reliable stopping power for a wide range of front disc brake systems. These pads are engineered with advanced friction materials that provide consistent performance across a variety of driving conditions, from everyday commuting to spirited driving sessions.

Key Features

• Premium Friction Compound: The ABS 36004 pads utilize a proprietary blend of ceramic and metallic fibers, ensuring low wear rates while maintaining excellent braking efficiency.
• Heat‑Resistant Design: Integrated heat sinks and optimized pad geometry help dissipate thermal buildup, reducing the risk of brake fade during prolonged use.
• Low Noise & Vibration: The pads are engineered to minimize squeal and chatter, providing a quiet and smooth braking experience.
• Long‑Lasting Life: With a high wear resistance ratio, these pads offer an extended service life compared to many aftermarket alternatives.
• Compatibility: The ABS 36004 set is specifically calibrated for front disc brakes on vehicles such as Fiat, Lancia, Seat, Zastava, and Autobianchi models. It fits a wide range of wheel sizes and brake caliper configurations.

Installation Overview

Installing the ABS 36004 Brake Pads is straightforward for technicians familiar with disc brake systems:

1. Remove the Wheel: Lift the vehicle, secure it on jack stands, and remove the wheel to access the caliper.
2. Release Caliper Pressure: Depress the caliper piston using a C‑tool or brake pad spreader to create space for the new pads.
3. Swap Pads: Remove the old pads and replace them with the ABS 36004 set, ensuring correct orientation of the friction surface.
4. Reassemble: Reinstall the caliper bracket, wheel, and torque the lug nuts to manufacturer specifications.
5. Brake Bleed (Optional): If any air has entered the system during removal, bleed the brakes to restore optimal hydraulic pressure.

Performance Characteristics

The ABS 36004 Brake Pads deliver:

• Consistent Stopping Power: The engineered friction coefficient maintains a stable braking force across temperature ranges from -20°C to +60°C.
• Reduced Dust Generation: The low‑dust formulation keeps brake rotors cleaner, extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance intervals.
• Enhanced Durability: The pad material resists cracking and delamination, even under high‑speed or emergency braking scenarios.

Vehicle Compatibility Matrix

The ABS 36004 set is tailored for front disc brakes on a variety of classic and modern vehicles. Below is a concise compatibility reference:

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect brake pads for wear; replace when the friction surface is below 2 mm.
• Keep rotors clean to prevent uneven pad wear and ensure optimal heat dissipation.
• Avoid riding brakes on steep inclines, as this can accelerate pad degradation.
• Use a brake cleaner spray before reassembly to remove any residual dust or debris.

Why Choose ABS 36004?

The ABS 36004 Brake Pads combine OEM reliability with modern material science. They are engineered for:

• Safety: Consistent braking performance reduces stopping distances and enhances vehicle control.
• Longevity: High wear resistance means fewer replacements over the life of your vehicle.
• Performance: Low noise, low dust, and high heat tolerance deliver a superior driving experience.

Whether you are restoring a classic Fiat or maintaining a modern Lancia, the ABS 36004 Brake Pads provide the dependable stopping power that drivers expect from an OEM‑grade component.
