ACDelco Gold Front Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Kit 17D2173CHF1 — 4 Pads, OEM Fit & Low Noise

ACDelco Gold 17D2173CHF1 (19471029) is a premium ceramic front disc brake pad kit engineered to match OEM fit, reduce noise, and deliver consistent stopping performance.

This ACDelco Gold (Professional) set contains four ceramic brake pads — two for each front caliper — manufactured to meet original equipment standards for fit, form, and function. Designed as a high-quality replacement for General Motors vehicles and many other makes and models, these pads use integrally molded friction material and stamped backing plates for secure bonding and reliable movement inside the caliper. Tested to industry standards, the kit balances braking effectiveness, noise reduction, and long-term wear characteristics.

How do these ACDelco Gold pads deliver quieter braking?

The pads include premium shims, slots, and chamfers that help minimize noise, vibration, and harshness. Select Gold hardware is nitrile coated to further reduce squeal and improve rider comfort during deceleration.

• Premium shims absorb and dampen vibration
• Slots and chamfers reduce edge stress and rotor glazing
• Nitrile-coated hardware reduces squeal and contact chatter
• Stamped backing plate supports controlled pad movement

What makes these pads a durable, reliable replacement?

ACDelco Gold pads are integrally molded to the backing plate for strong bond integrity and are tested to SAE J2784 plus additional NVH and wear protocols. The materials and manufacturing processes aim to resist premature wear while maintaining consistent braking over time.

• Integrally molded friction to backing for improved bond
