What It Helps Address

• Front brake pad wear on Rivian R1S and Rivian R1T
• Brake noise caused by worn or uneven pads
• Reduced braking performance from depleted friction material
• Pad replacement service when hardware renewal is needed
• Wear-sensor-equipped front brake maintenance on listed vehicles

Installation Notes

Verify front axle fitment before installation. This pad set is prepared for a mechanical pad wear sensor, but a pad wear sensor is not included. Confirm caliper condition, rotor surface condition, and pad dimensions before assembly. Follow the vehicle service procedure for bedding-in new ceramic pads after installation.
