Toyota Camry Brake Pads: Front and Rear Part Numbers Explained

On a Toyota Camry, front brake pad kits belong to Toyota group 04465 and rear pad kits to group 04466. The five characters after the group code identify the exact kit, which depends on generation, engine and brake size — so two Camrys from different years usually need different kits.

What do 04465 and 04466 mean?

Toyota uses the same group codes across its models: 04465 is a front disc brake pad kit and 04466 a rear one. A Corolla and a Camry both use 04465 kits, but not the same kit. Searching for the group code alone is a good start; the full number is what you order.

Why do Camrys of the same generation need different pads?

• Engine: V6 versions and some sport trims use larger front brakes than four-cylinder cars.
• Hybrid: hybrids recover braking energy through the motor, so pads last longer, but kit numbers can differ.
• Market: some markets used different calipers or pad compounds.
• Supersession: Toyota sometimes replaces a kit number with an updated one.

The safest order line for brake pads is: VIN, axle (front or rear), quantity of axle sets. We return the current Toyota number and a replacement option cross-referenced to it.

Should pads and discs be ordered together?

Many workshops replace them together, and always per axle. If the discs are within the minimum thickness and not scored, pads alone are fine. Hybrids and lightly used cars can show corroded discs before the pads are worn, so check discs on those cars.

How do fleets order Camry brake parts?

Taxi and corporate fleets with Camrys usually order pads per axle in bulk, plus discs every second pad change, grouped by generation. We pack and label them per generation and axle so depots can issue them quickly.
