The Buick Century, produced from 1973-2005, features a disc brake system, with front disc brakes being standard. These brakes utilize brake pads that clamp down on a rotor (disc) to slow the vehicle. For the Buick Century, replacement parts like brake rotors and ceramic pads are available, and calipers, which house the brake pads, can be replaced when worn or leaking. Some Century models from 2003 and later may not have standard anti-lock brakes.
