Overview

Towing a camper, work trailer or boat puts extra load on the rear brakes, and these Z36 pads add stainless steel shims against noise and vibration. Installation hardware is included.

The pads aim at heavy towing, hauling and lifted or larger-wheel setups, and the listing calls them a direct-fit bolt-on upgrade. The fit list is long and tied to specific years and trims, so check yours. Rear axle only.

Who it's for

Owners of a Ram, Dodge Durango or Chrysler Aspen on the list who tow trailers or haul loads will find the use case here. Drivers who only commute, or who own other makes, should check the list before buying.
