Detailed Description

DFC designed this brake service kit to simplify front brake replacement while keeping the rotor and pad pairing matched for the application. The coated rotors are machined to OE-style specifications, inspected for critical dimensions, and finished to promote smooth braking performance. The pads are formulated for consistent friction and reduced break-in time, making this a practical choice for Chevrolet and GMC owners servicing front brakes on Express 1500, Tahoe, Suburban 1500, C1500, and related models. Part number 4502-48086 is a direct-fit front brake kit for the listed vehicles.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Front brake noise during stops
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad bedding after brake service
