D1222 Brake Pads 04465-06080 – Low-Metallic Brake Pad Pair for Toyota Camry

D1222 Brake Pads 04465-06080 for Toyota Camry

These D1222 brake pads are aftermarket replacement pads sold under the reference numbers D1222 and 04465-06080. The supplier describes them as brake pads for the Toyota Camry, made from a friction material that contains a small amount of metal, and packs them in a box. Easy Life Markets offers them to drivers and workshops who already know which pad number they need and want a straightforward replacement.

Pads are a wear item. Each time you brake, the caliper squeezes them against the rotor, and a thin layer of friction material is used up. Leave them too long and the steel backing plate reaches the rotor, which ruins the rotor and makes the car unsafe. Replacing pads when they get thin is one of the cheapest and most important maintenance jobs on any car. The brake pad article explains the different friction materials and how they behave.

What You Receive

The supplier's packing list reads:

• 1 pair of brake pads
• 1 box

The photos show the pads sealed in clear film and resting on a printed carton marked "Brake Pads". No clips, shims, wear sensors or fitting grease are mentioned. If you need to know exactly how many individual pads are in the box before you order, ask us and we will check with the supplier.

Specifications

The supplier does not state pad dimensions, thickness, model years or whether the pads are for the front or rear axle. We have left those out instead of guessing. One more thing to be open about: the supplier's text spells the model "Toyota Carrey". We read that as the Toyota Camry, but it is another reason to confirm by part number.

Checking Fitment

Because the listing gives so little vehicle detail, the reference numbers are what you should rely on. Here is how to make sure these pads are right for your car:

1. Find the number on your old pads. Many pads have the FMSI number, such as D1222, printed on the backing plate or on the edge of the friction material.
2. Check 04465-06080 against your car. This is the number the listing uses as a cross-reference. A Toyota dealer or an online parts catalogue can tell you from your VIN which pad number your car uses.
3. Compare the shape. Look at the photos. The pads have a wide friction block with a centre groove, and the backing plate has locating tabs at its ends. Your old pads should match that outline exactly.
4. Ask if in doubt. Send us your VIN and we will help you compare.

Do not order on the model name alone. The Camry has been built for decades in many versions, and they do not all use the same pads.

About the Friction Material

The supplier states that the material contains a small amount of metal. Pads of this kind are usually called low-metallic. A little metal in the mix helps carry heat away from the rotor surface and gives a firm initial bite. The trade-off, compared with a fully ceramic pad, is that low-metallic pads can make a bit more dust and may be slightly noisier. Many drivers prefer them for their pedal feel.

The photos show a slotted friction block on a black backing plate. The backing plates carry a stamped code and a production date.

Signs Your Pads Need Replacing

• A squeal or chirp when you brake lightly
• Grinding or scraping, which means the pad is worn through
• Friction material that looks thinner than the backing plate
• A longer pedal or longer stopping distance
• The car pulling left or right under braking
• A brake warning light, on cars fitted with pad wear sensors

Installation Tips

• Park on level ground, loosen the wheel nuts, raise the car and support it on axle stands.
• Remove the caliper bolts, lift the caliper away and hang it so the hose is not stretched.
• Note how the old pads, shims and clips are arranged. A quick photo on your phone helps when you put it all back.
• Push the piston back gently with a suitable tool. Watch the fluid reservoir so that it does not overflow.
• Clean the pad seats on the bracket and move your old clips and shims across if they are in good condition, since none are listed with this set.
• Fit the new pads, refit the caliper and tighten the bolts to the service manual torque.
• Press the brake pedal several times before moving the car.

Brakes are safety-critical. If you have any doubt about doing the job correctly, take the pads to a qualified mechanic and have them fitted.

Breaking In and Looking After New Pads

Drive gently for the first 200 to 300 km. Use light to moderate braking and avoid emergency stops unless you have to, so the pads can bed against the rotors. Check the rotors when you change pads. If they are deeply grooved or have a thick lip, new pads will not sit flat and will wear unevenly. Change the brake fluid at the interval your car's manual recommends.

Who These Pads Are For

They are for Camry owners and independent garages who have confirmed that D1222 or 04465-06080 is the correct pad for the car in front of them. They also suit parts resellers who order by reference number.

Common Questions

Are these genuine Toyota pads? No. They are unbranded aftermarket pads. The number 04465-06080 is used only as a cross-reference to identify the pad.

Which Camry years do they fit? The supplier does not list model years. Please confirm using the reference numbers and your VIN.

Are they front or rear pads? The supplier does not say. Compare the pad shape in the photos with your own pads, or ask us before ordering.
