Need 1998 Honda Civic brake pads, rotors, or hardware? 1998 is a 6th-gen Civic (1996–2000). This page is only that Civic. It is not Civic del Sol, not an Accord, and it is not a CR-V.
DX/EX/HX/Si trims and ABS packages change pad and rotor numbers on this generation. A growl or pedal pulsation is usually a rotor. A squeal on the first stop is often glazed pads or missing hardware clips.

What usually brings people here
- Pedal pulsation or a growl that rises with road speed → rotor (BD61982E / BD125006E). Confirm stud count and diameter against the Front/Rear lists before ordering.
- Squeal on the first stop or after a short drive → glazed pads (QC5603 / ZD5603) or missing hardware clips. Replace clips when they are bent, missing, or corroded solid.
- Soft or sinking pedal after a visual leak check → inspect the flexible hoses on this page (e.g. BH140038) for cracks, bulges, or wet fittings, then bleed with the correct fluid. This page does not list master cylinders or ABS modulators — stay with the SKUs shown.

While you’re in there
While the calipers are off, inspect hose fittings for wetness and make sure the guide pins slide freely. Fresh abutment clips (H17206) are cheap insurance when the old ones are rusty or missing. If the truck also clunks or wanders, see 1998 Honda Civic suspension parts for ball-joint / tie-rod notes before you button the knuckle back up.
Shop notes only — not a service manual. Use the factory procedure or a Haynes/Chilton manual for wrench work, torque, and safety steps. Leave a comment with 4×2 vs 4×4, coil vs air (if equipped), and the symptom if you want a part-number check.
