Mercedes Sprinter 2500/3500 Rear Ceramic Brake Pads – Hudson Premium Ceramic | NCV3 SRW | #0044206920 (2007–2018)
DESCRIPTION:
If you're looking for cleaner wheels, quieter rear brake operation, and longer pad life on your Sprinter, ceramic is the upgrade. This Hudson Premium Ceramic rear brake pad set for the NCV3 Sprinter 2500 and 3500 with single rear wheels is a direct-fit replacement that uses advanced ceramic friction formulation to deliver superior noise dampening, significantly reduced brake dust, and consistent stopping performance throughout the service life of the pad.
What This Part Does
The rear brake pads clamp against the rear rotors to provide rear axle braking force. Ceramic compounds use finely ground ceramic fibers and bonding agents instead of the metal particles found in semi-metallic pads — resulting in quieter brake operation, less abrasive rotor wear, and noticeably less dust accumulation on your rear wheels. On a commercial Sprinter running daily routes, the reduction in brake noise and wheel grime is immediately apparent.
Ceramic vs. OEM Semi-Metallic — What You Gain
- Significantly less brake dust — cleaner wheels between service intervals
- Quieter brake operation — less squeal and groan in stop-and-go commercial use
- Lower rotor wear — ceramic compounds are gentler on rotor surfaces
- Consistent pedal feel across a wide temperature range
- Longer pad life under typical commercial driving conditions
When to Replace
Replace when pad thickness reaches the wear indicator threshold, when the brake pad warning sensor triggers, or when you notice increased stopping distances or brake noise. Always inspect rotors at the same time — installing new pads on significantly worn rotors reduces both pad life and braking performance.
Important: Single Rear Wheel Models Only — VIN Specific
This pad set is for Sprinter 2500 and 3500 models with single rear wheels only. Dual rear wheel 3500 models use a different pad specification. Always verify your axle configuration and VIN before ordering. Contact us and we'll confirm fitment before you buy.
