The package includes pads for one axle (two wheels), vehicle-specific hardware where applicable, and a synthetic lubricant for sliding contact points. Bosch designed these pads with pre-attached multilayer rubber core shims and powder-coated backing plates to reduce noise and resist corrosion while fitting many Asian, domestic, and European models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these pads reduce noise and vibration?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BC1044 uses Bosch’s Molded Shim Technology (MST) and OE-style multilayer rubber core shims pre-attached to the pad backing. This combination improves the bond between the shim and steel, dampens vibration transfer, and minimizes audible brake squeal for quieter stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-attached multilayer rubber core shims for superior damping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMolded Shim Technology reduces shim separation and rattling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrecision-fit backing plates and chamfers limit vibration sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat braking performance and wear characteristics can I expect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese pads use a proprietary ceramic friction compound formulated by Bosch to provide consistent pedal feel and reliable stopping power across normal driving conditions.
