Mercedes Sprinter Rear Ceramic Brake Pad Kit – HPC | NCV3 2500 / 3500 SRW | #0044208120 (2007–2018)

Worn rear brake pads on a Mercedes Sprinter NCV3 reduce stopping power on the rear axle, accelerate rotor wear, and trigger the brake warning light — and in a loaded van, degraded rear brakes shift braking effort forward, increasing front pad wear and reducing overall stopping balance. This is the HPC ceramic rear brake pad kit for NCV3 Sprinter 2500 and 3500 single-rear-wheel models, a direct-fit replacement set that restores full rear braking friction with a ceramic compound that delivers quiet, low-dust performance.

What This Part Does

The rear brake pad kit includes four ceramic friction pads — two per caliper, covering both rear calipers — for a complete rear axle replacement. The ceramic compound bonds to a steel backing plate and provides the surface the rear caliper clamps against the rotor to slow the vehicle. Ceramic compounds are characterized by lower brake dust output, quieter operation, and stable friction performance across a wide temperature range compared to semi-metallic alternatives. On a commercial van that may make hundreds of stops per day, this stability makes ceramic pads well-suited to the repeated moderate-to-heavy braking cycles of delivery, passenger transport, and cargo hauling. The pads include an integrated wear indicator slot for the brake pad wear sensor wire.

Common Symptoms of Worn Rear Brake Pads

• Brake pad warning light in the instrument cluster
• Squealing or squeaking from the rear brakes — wear indicator contacting the rotor
• Grinding or metallic scraping from the rear axle — pads worn through to the backing plate
• Increased stopping distances or longer pedal travel under load
• Uneven pad wear from a sticking caliper or worn slider pins

When to Replace

Replace when the brake pad warning light activates, when squealing indicates the wear indicator is contacting the rotor, or when pad thickness is at or below minimum during inspection. Always replace pads as a complete axle set. Replace the brake pad wear sensors at the same time and inspect rear rotors for minimum thickness and scoring before installing new pads.

NCV3 Specific — VIN Verification Required

This rear pad kit is for NCV3 Sprinter 2500 and 3500 single-rear-wheel models (2007–2018). It is not compatible with VS30 Sprinters, 3500 DRW models, or 4500 models. Always verify by VIN before ordering. Contact us and we'll confirm fitment before you buy.
