Disc brake pads are the most frequently replaced component in your Freightliner Century Class braking system. The friction material your Century Class calipers press against the rotor surface wears down with every stop, and the right pad formulation for your Freightliner Century Class, your driving style, and American climate directly affects your stopping distance, rotor lifespan, brake noise, and dust output.
A Freightliner Century Class disc brake pad is a steel backing plate bonded to a friction material compound. When you press the brake pedal on your Century Class, hydraulic pressure forces the caliper pistons to squeeze the pads against the spinning rotor, converting kinetic energy into heat and slowing your Freightliner Century Class. The friction material wears gradually and must be replaced when it reaches the minimum safe thickness, typically 3mm, to maintain full stopping performance on your Century Class.
Ceramic Brake Pads for the Freightliner Century Class
Ceramic pads are the premium everyday choice for most Freightliner Century Class drivers. Formulated from a dense ceramic compound, Century Class ceramic pads maintain consistent friction effectiveness across a wide temperature range, including cold starts on your Freightliner Century Class at sub-zero temperatures. They produce minimal dust, run quieter in stop-and-go city traffic on the Century Class, and are significantly gentler on Freightliner Century Class rotor surfaces than metallic alternatives.
Semi-Metallic Brake Pads for the Freightliner Century Class
Semi-metallic pads excel under sustained heat loads on the Freightliner Century Class. They are the preferred choice for Century Class trucks and SUVs used for towing, and performance Freightliner Century Class vehicles where braking generates high sustained temperatures. Semi-metallic pads provide more aggressive stopping bite at high temperatures on your Freightliner Century Class, at the cost of slightly more noise and dust in everyday driving.
Our brake pad selection for the Freightliner Century Class is curated specifically for American road and climate conditions. Every ceramic pad confirmed for the Freightliner Century Class in our catalogue is evaluated for cold-weather friction effectiveness on your Century Class, not just room-temperature lab specs. Brands including Akebono, EBC, and Raybestos are stocked as authorized retailer products for the Freightliner Century Class, meaning full manufacturer warranty and zero grey-market risk on every Century Class purchase.
How often should I replace my Freightliner Century Class disc brake pads?
Most Freightliner Century Class brake pads last between 40,000 and 70,000 kilometres, but this varies based on driving style and conditions. American city driving tends to wear Century Class pads faster than highway driving. Inspect Freightliner Century Class pads at every oil change and replace when friction material reaches 3mm or less.
Should I replace front and rear brake pads on my Freightliner Century Class at the same time?
Not necessarily. Front brakes on the Freightliner Century Class handle 60 to 70 percent of braking force and typically wear faster. Always replace pads as an axle pair on the Century Class, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain even braking force.
Are ceramic or semi-metallic pads better for my Freightliner Century Class in American winters?
Ceramic pads are the better everyday choice for most Freightliner Century Class drivers. For Century Class drivers who tow regularly or drive performance Freightliner Century Class vehicles, semi-metallic pads deliver superior stopping bite and heat resistance under demanding conditions.
