PowerStop Z17 Rear Ceramic Brake Pads for Chrysler/Dodge/Ram 2012-20 — Low-Dust, Quiet with Stainless Hardware

PowerStop Z17 rear ceramic brake pads are a direct-fit OE-style replacement that delivers quiet, low-dust everyday braking with included stainless-steel installation hardware.

These Z17 Evolution ceramic pads from PowerStop are engineered as an upgrade over standard OE replacements for compatible Chrysler, Dodge, Ram and Volkswagen Routan models. The kit contains two rear Z17 ceramic pads and premium stainless-steel installation hardware so you can perform a bolt-on swap without modifying calipers or rotors. The compound and pad geometry aim to reduce dust and noise while providing consistent stopping for daily driving conditions.

Will these pads fit my vehicle?

Compatibility covers several rear applications across model years—confirm fitment for your exact trim and rotor size before purchase. These pads are designed for specific dual-piston caliper and 328 mm rotor configurations listed in the fitment notes, so cross-checking your vehicle information prevents installation issues.

• Fits rear of 2012–2016 Chrysler Town & Country (dual-piston front calipers)
• Fits rear of 2012–2020 Dodge Grand Caravan (with noted year splits)
• Fits 2012–2015 Ram C/V and 2012–2014 Dodge Journey with 328 mm rear rotor
• Also compatible with 2012–2014 Volkswagen Routan dual-piston front calipers

How do Z17 ceramic pads perform compared with OE pads?

Z17 pads are formulated to deliver quieter operation and reduced wheel contamination versus many standard semi-metallic OE pads. The ceramic compound and multi-layer rubberized shims help dampen vibration and noise, while lower dust generation helps wheels stay cleaner between washes.

• Chamfered and slotted faces for quicker, more consistent break-in
• Low-dust ceramic material minimizes brake residue on wheels
• Rubberized shims reduce squeal and vibration for quieter stops
• Designed for everyday, street-oriented stopping performance
