Prem Metallic Brake Pad Shims & Hardware

The Prem Metallic Brake Pad Shims & Hardware by Centric Brake Parts delivers OEM-grade stopping power for Dodge midsize trucks from 2003–2004. This complete set of four semi-metallic brake pads includes all necessary hardware and anti-rattle shims, eliminating the need for separate purchases. Whether you're performing routine maintenance or upgrading worn pads, this solution provides the friction material and mechanical components required for safe, consistent braking performance in light-duty truck applications.

Semi-metallic brake pad compounds balance heat dissipation with wear resistance, making them ideal for everyday driving and moderate towing scenarios. The integrated hardware kit—including shims, clips, and clips—reduces brake noise and vibration while minimizing pad flutter under braking load. These shims work by decoupling the pad backing plate from the caliper, absorbing micro-vibrations that would otherwise transmit through the suspension and steering. The metallurgical composition ensures stable friction coefficients across a wide temperature range, preventing fade during extended descents or heavy stop-and-go driving common in truck operation.

Truck owners performing brake service on 2003–2004 Dodge midsize models—including Dakota and Durango platforms—benefit from this complete hardware package, eliminating guesswork during installation. Mechanics appreciate that all clips and shims are pre-engineered to factory specifications, reducing labor time and callback risk. Installation requires standard brake service tools and moderate mechanical skill; ensure proper brake fluid bleeding and pad bedding procedures for optimal performance. This set meets OEM dimensional and performance requirements, delivering reliable stopping power without aftermarket compromise.
