High-Quality Rear Brake Pads for 2009-2017 Toyota Venza: Part # 044660T010

Genuine Toyota OEM Rear Brake Pads – Made in the USA – Unbeatable Value

These genuine Toyota OEM rear brake pads (part # 044660T010) are a critical component of your vehicle’s braking system. They ensure safe and reliable stopping power by generating friction against the brake rotors, gradually decelerating your Toyota Venza. Manufactured in the USA, these pads are crafted from high-temperature resistant materials, including ceramics, Kevlar, and alloys, for superior performance and longevity. The design incorporates grooves to effectively dissipate heat generated during braking.

Brake pads are the foundation of a vehicle’s braking mechanism, functioning as friction-generating interfaces between the braking system and the rotating wheels. When you depress the brake pedal, this action transmits force to the caliper, which presses the brake pads firmly against the rotor. This friction converts kinetic energy into heat, thereby slowing and ultimately stopping the vehicle. Consistent friction necessitates regular brake pad inspection and maintenance to maximize service life and safety. Signs that indicate the need for brake pad replacement include unusual noises, vehicle pull, steering wheel vibration, unresponsive braking, or illumination of the brake warning light. Ignoring these indicators can compromise safety.

Brake pad technology offers various formulations, each designed for specific performance characteristics and driving situations. The primary types include:

• Ceramic Brake Pads: Introduced in the mid-1980s, these pads utilize a ceramic composite similar to that found in household ceramics but engineered for enhanced durability and heat resistance. Copper wires are often incorporated to improve heat dissipation and friction. Known for quiet operation and reduced dust production, ceramic pads provide consistent performance across a broader temperature range. However, they are more expensive to manufacture and may not be optimal in extreme cold or high-performance driving scenarios due to their less efficient heat absorption properties. This can cause heat transfer to other braking system components, potentially leading to premature wear.
• Organic Brake Pads: Initially asbestos-based, modern organic pads utilize safer materials such as fibers, carbon compounds, rubber, and glass fiber composites bonded with resin. These pads provide moderate friction and relatively quiet operation. While cost-effective, they tend to wear more quickly than other types and may underperform in extreme temperatures or under heavy braking. Their higher compressibility also requires greater pedal pressure.
• Metallic Brake Pads: Comprising a blend of metals (30-70% iron, copper, steel, or alloys) with graphite lubricant and other additives, metallic brake pads offer superior performance across a wider temperature range and driving conditions. Their excellent heat conductivity contributes to faster brake system cooling. They require less pedal pressure but are noisier and generate more dust and rotor wear than other types. While more expensive than organic pads, they are generally less costly than ceramic pads.
