Nissan's popular sedans, crossovers, and trucks are straightforward to service once you have the right brake pads. Here is how to choose and buy brake pads for your Nissan.
Popular Nissan models we cover
We carry brake pads and brake kits across the Nissan lineup, including the Altima, Rogue, Sentra, Maxima, Pathfinder, Murano, Frontier, Xterra, Versa, and Titan. Front and rear sets are separate part numbers, and the fronts typically wear first - see front vs rear brake pads.
Which compound for a Nissan?
Sedans and crossovers like the Altima, Rogue, Sentra, and Murano do well on quiet, low-dust ceramic pads for everyday driving. If you tow or haul with a Frontier, Titan, or Pathfinder, a semi-metallic or heavy-duty pad handles heat better under load - see best pads for towing. Our choosing brake pads guide walks through the options.
Getting the fitment right
Nissan brakes can vary by trim and drivetrain, and some models or trims use different rotor sizes. Trucks like the Frontier and Xterra may also have rear drum brakes on certain configurations. Confirm the year, model, and drivetrain, and check front vs rear. Every listing states the verified fitment - see our FAQ.
Do the job right
- Replace pads as a full axle set with fresh hardware.
- Check the rotors - see rotor minimum thickness.
- Bed the pads in for quiet stops - see the bedding guide.
