PowerStop Z16 Evolution ceramic rear brake pads, part number PSB16-2236, provide dependable stopping performance for select Freightliner and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 and 3500XD models. The ceramic friction formula is engineered to maximize braking power while producing less dust, helping maintain cleaner wheels. These pads are designed as an affordable stock replacement for everyday driving and offer consistent performance across a wide range of operating conditions.
The PowerStop Z16 Evolution pads use OE positive mold technology to promote even wear and reliable braking performance. A thermal-scorched friction surface helps shorten break-in time, while chamfered and slotted pad surfaces help reduce noise during operation. Multi-layer rubberized shims further support quiet braking by helping damp vibration between the pad and caliper components.
A powder-coated backing plate resists rust and corrosion to help extend pad service life, making these rear brake pads a practical choice for vehicle owners seeking an OE-style replacement. This set is designed for compatible 2019–2021 Freightliner Sprinter 3500, Freightliner Sprinter 3500XD, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD applications. Verify vehicle fitment and rear axle compatibility before installation. Professional installation is recommended, and brake components should be installed and serviced according to the vehicle manufacturer’s procedures.
