The ADVICS AD2231 rear brake pad for the 2020-2026 Ford Explorer and other vehicles clamps the rear rotors to slow and stop the vehicle, with ceramic friction material on a fine blank steel backing plate.
Worn rear brake pads can show up as a high-pitched squeal when the mechanical wear indicator reaches the rotor, a grinding noise, or a longer stopping distance. Those signs alone don't prove the pads are at fault, since a scored or warped rotor can also make noise and vibration.
These pads are a direct-fit replacement for the 2020-2026 Ford Explorer and the 2020-2026 Lincoln Aviator. This set is also a direct-fit rear brake pad for the 2024-2025 Ford Mustang.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Are these the rear brake pads for the 2020-2026 Ford Explorer?
Yes. The ADVICS AD2231 rear brake pad set is a direct fit for the 2020-2026 Ford Explorer, and one set covers its rear brakes.
Are these ADVICS brake pads ceramic?
Yes. These rear pads use ceramic friction material that is integrally molded to a fine blank steel backing plate.
Do the AD2231 pads come with shims and a hardware kit?
Yes. Shims and a hardware kit come with the ADVICS AD2231 set, along with a mechanical pad wear sensor, but abutment clips and brake lubricant are not part of this listing.
What does a squeal from the wear indicator on these rear pads mean?
That squeal can mean the friction material has worn down to the mechanical wear indicator and the rear pads are due for replacement. Grinding or a longer stop can also mean worn pads.
Why do these ceramic pads have slots and chamfered edges?
These ceramic pads have OEM-mirrored slots and chamfers to reduce noise, vibration and harshness, and their multi-layer shims meet or exceed OE specifications.
