Mercedes Sprinter Front Brake Pad Kit – Textar | NCV3 3500 & VS30 1500 / 2500 / 3500 / 3500XD | #9064210300 (2010–2023)
Worn front brake pads on a Mercedes Sprinter are the most direct path to compromised stopping performance — on the front axle that handles the majority of braking effort, thin pads reduce friction area, increase rotor wear, and eventually allow metal-to-metal contact that destroys rotors and calipers simultaneously. This is the Textar front brake pad kit for NCV3 Sprinter 3500 and VS30 Sprinter 1500, 2500, 3500, and 3500XD models, a direct-fit OE-spec replacement set that restores full front braking friction and confident stopping performance.
What This Part Does
The front brake pad kit includes four friction pads — two per caliper, covering both front calipers — for a complete front axle replacement. The pads consist of a friction compound bonded to a steel backing plate, providing the friction surface that the caliper presses against the rotor when stopping. The front axle handles 60–70% of total braking effort on the Sprinter, making front pad condition the most direct factor in overall stopping performance. The pads include an integrated wear indicator slot that accommodates the brake pad wear sensor wire, which triggers the dashboard warning as the friction material approaches minimum thickness. Textar is an OEM brake supplier to Mercedes-Benz and other European manufacturers.
Common Symptoms of Worn Front Brake Pads
- Brake pad warning light in the instrument cluster
- Squealing or squeaking from the front brakes — wear indicator making contact with the rotor
- Grinding or metallic scraping from the front axle — pads worn through to the backing plate
- Increased stopping distances or longer brake pedal travel under normal braking
- Visible friction material thickness at or below minimum during inspection
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 measures at or below minimum during inspection. Always replace pads as a complete axle set — both front calipers. Replace the brake pad wear sensors at the same time. Inspect front rotors for minimum thickness and scoring before installing new pads.
NCV3 3500 & VS30 Specific — VIN Verification Required
This front pad kit fits NCV3 Sprinter 3500 and VS30 Sprinter 1500, 2500, 3500, and 3500XD. Always verify by VIN before ordering — front brake pad fitment varies by axle configuration. Contact us and we'll confirm fitment before you buy.
