T&C brake dust fix

Suggest you stop using the brakes.

I put ceramic pad from rockauto.com to solve the dust problem my 2003 lx. There were the only one who stocked the correct pads. And no, no special tools required unless you consider a torex special.

Many people on various forums are really into the Akebono ProAct ceramics. I put some on my Concorde a couple of months ago, and they are doing very well (though I can't speak regarding dust because over a mile of my total commute each day to work is over a gravel road in a very dusty mining area). I have seen good comments (and no complaints) about that aspect on the forums though.

I have heard it claimed that a good ceramic will last the wear life of a rotor - not that they make the rotors wear any faster than other types of pads, but the the pads themselves wear very slowly (which would go hand-in-hand with low dusting).

You can order them from

NAPA does not supply for 2003 T&C application.

I see also that Akebono ceramics are also not listed for the T&C Ltd. on the Tire Rack site, though they list an "SUV grade" pad, whatever that means. Probably not optimized for low dusting.

This is just what I was looking for! I see on the ProAct web site they list Act857 and Act858 for 2004 Caravan with 16" wheels. I have a 2004 T&C Touring, as far as I know, these should fit on mine, correct? I ask as their web site doesn't list the T&C on the year 2004, but do for the other years.

I got mine akebono from

Don't go for the Raybestos ceramic brake pads-they wore out very early in my

Not a big fan of brake dust shields... they claim that they don't let the brakes run hotter but I have a hard time believing that.
