ABS 36839 Brake Pads

ABS 36839 Brake Pads

The ABS 36839 brake pad set is engineered for drivers who demand reliable stopping power and long‑lasting performance across a wide range of vehicles. Designed with precision machining and advanced composite materials, this product delivers consistent braking efficiency while minimizing wear on rotors.

Key Design Features

• High‑Performance Composite: The pad face is composed of a proprietary blend that offers excellent friction coefficient under both wet and dry conditions, ensuring rapid deceleration without brake fade.
• Low Noise & Vibration: Integrated acoustic dampening layers reduce squeal and chatter, providing a quieter driving experience even during aggressive braking.
• Heat‑Resistant Construction: Advanced thermal management materials keep pad temperature stable, preventing glazing and maintaining consistent grip at high speeds.
• Durable Edge Design: The edge geometry is optimized for uniform wear across the entire pad surface, extending service life while preserving rotor integrity.

Performance Characteristics

The ABS 36839 pads are engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications for a variety of front and rear disc brake systems. Their performance profile includes:

• Rapid Response: Immediate bite on the pedal with minimal travel, ideal for both daily commuting and spirited driving.
• Consistent Braking Force: Maintains a steady braking feel throughout the pad life, reducing the need for frequent adjustments.
• Reduced Brake Dust: The low‑dust formulation keeps wheels cleaner and reduces maintenance on surrounding components.

Compatibility Overview

The ABS 36839 brake pad set is compatible with a broad range of vehicles, including but not limited to:

• Mitsubishi models (e.g., MB857259, MB928035)
• Dodge and other front‑wheel drive platforms that use standard disc brakes.
• Various passenger cars and light trucks equipped with 4‑piece brake pad assemblies.

For exact fitment, consult the vehicle’s service manual or a technical data sheet. The set typically includes both front and rear pads, ensuring balanced braking performance across all wheels.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Secure the vehicle on jack stands and disconnect the battery to prevent accidental airbag deployment.
2. Remove Old Pads: Detach the caliper bracket, slide out the old pads, and note the orientation of retaining clips or pins.
3. Inspect Rotors: Check for scoring or excessive wear; clean with a non‑abrasive brake cleaner if necessary.
4. Install New Pads: Place the ABS 36839 pads into the caliper, ensuring proper alignment of edge and retaining hardware.
5. Reassemble Caliper: Reinstall the bracket, torque bolts to manufacturer specifications, and re‑attach any anti‑squeal shims.
6. Brake Fluid Check: Verify fluid level and top off if required; bleed brakes if the system has been opened.
7. Test Drive: Perform a short drive to confirm smooth pedal feel and absence of noise or vibration.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect pad thickness; replace when the wear indicator reaches the rotor surface.
• Avoid prolonged hard braking on hot brakes to reduce thermal stress.
• Keep wheel wells clean from brake dust and debris to prevent corrosion.
• Use a high‑quality brake cleaner for routine cleaning of pads and rotors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the expected lifespan of the ABS 36839 brake pads?

The typical service life ranges from 30,000 to 50,000 miles, depending on driving conditions and vehicle usage.

Do these pads produce more noise than standard OEM pads?

No. The integrated acoustic dampening layers are specifically designed to minimize squeal and chatter.

Can I use them in a rear‑wheel drive vehicle?

The set is primarily intended for front‑wheel drive configurations, but many rear‑wheel drive models with standard disc brakes also fit. Verify with the manufacturer’s compatibility list.

Are these pads suitable for high‑performance driving?

Yes. Their high friction coefficient and heat resistance make them ideal for spirited driving and track use.
