Bosch QuietCast BC1761 Rear Ceramic Brake Pad Set — Direct-Fit Rear Axle, Quiet & Low-Dust

BOSCH QuietCast BC1761 rear ceramic disc brake pads are a direct-fit replacement set engineered to deliver quiet braking, low dust, and long-lasting corrosion resistance for compatible Audi and Volkswagen models.

Backed by Bosch’s decades of braking experience, the QuietCast BC1761 combines proprietary ceramic friction material with OE-style multilayer rubber-core shims and powder-coated backing plates. This rear axle kit ships with the pads, hardware where applicable, and synthetic lubricant to help reduce drag at sliding contact points. Engineered for reliable stop performance and reduced noise, these pads are intended as a high-quality replacement that mirrors original equipment fit and function for select Asian, domestic, and European vehicles.

How do these pads keep braking noise down?

Noise reduction comes from Bosch’s Molded Shim Technology (MST) and pre-attached multilayer rubber-core shims that create a secure bond between the rubber and steel backing plate. The design minimizes vibration transfer from the friction surface to the caliper, which is a common source of squeal.

• Pre-attached OE-style multilayer rubber-core shims for superior damping
• Molded Shim Technology to reduce vibration and squeal
• Ceramic friction formulation engineered for smooth engagement

Will these pads last and resist corrosion?

Durability is addressed through Bosch’s powder-coated backing plates that resist rust and corrosion, plus the ceramic compound’s stable wear characteristics. The pads include slots and chamfers to promote even wear and to help dissipate heat, extending usable life under normal driving conditions.

• Corrosion-resistant powder-coated steel backing plate
• Slots and chamfers for controlled, even pad wear
• Ceramic material formulated for consistent friction and low dust

Are these a direct fit and what comes in the box?

The BC1761 set is a rear axle replacement that’s intended as a direct-fit option for many Audi and Volkswagen models; however, vehicle trim and engine options can affect fitment so always verify compatibility with your vehicle. Bosch supplies pads for two wheels (one axle), the recommended hardware where applicable, and synthetic lubricant to help the pads slide smoothly at contact points.

• Includes pads for one axle (two wheels)
• Hardware kit included where applicable
• Synthetic lubricant provided to reduce sliding resistance

How does the ceramic friction material perform compared to other pad types?

Ceramic friction blends generally deliver quieter operation, lower dust, and stable performance across a broad temperature range versus many metallic formulations. Bosch’s specific ceramic compound used in QuietCast is engineered to balance stopping power with reduced rotor wear and minimal residue on wheels.

• Quieter engagement and lower audible noise
• Reduced braking dust for cleaner wheels
• Consistent stopping feel across common driving conditions

Who is this for: The BOSCH QuietCast BC1761 rear ceramic brake pad set is suited for drivers of compatible Audi and Volkswagen models who want an OE-quality replacement that emphasizes quiet stops, low dust, and long-term corrosion resistance. It’s appropriate for daily-driven passenger cars and light-performance variants where factory-like fit, dependable braking, and reduced noise are priorities. Always confirm fitment for your exact year, trim, and axle before purchasing.
