Quiet, low-dust rear braking for your daily driver — the Akebono ProACT Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set (ACT1161) installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2006-2012 Ford Fusion, 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, 2006-2013 Mazda 6, and 2006-2011 Mercury Milan. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

  • OE-validated ceramic: application-specific, ProACT Ultra-Premium ceramic formulations developed by Akebono, a longtime original-equipment brake supplier.
  • Precision-cut pressure plates: help keep the friction material properly located and backed for consistent pad contact.
  • Engineered chamfers and slots: scientifically designed for braking performance and NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) control.
  • Everyday-street benefit: ceramic friction runs cleaner and quieter than conventional semi-metallic pads, producing less visible dust and a smooth, consistent pedal feel during normal city and highway driving.

Worn pads may show up as squealing, reduced braking bite, or a low pedal; if worn friction material is the cause, this set replaces the rear pads. For even, balanced braking, it's best practice to replace the pads on both sides of the axle together as a matched set, and to inspect the rotors during the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which axle is this pad set for?

This is a rear disc brake pad set. It fits the rear axle on the listed applications.

What vehicles does the ACT1161 set fit?

It's a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2006-2012 Ford Fusion, 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, 2006-2013 Mazda 6, and 2006-2011 Mercury Milan. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.

Are these ceramic pads?

Yes. They use Akebono's ProACT Ultra-Premium, OE-validated, application-specific ceramic friction formulation.

Why choose ceramic over semi-metallic?

For everyday street driving, ceramic pads generally run quieter and produce less visible dust than conventional semi-metallic pads, with a smooth, consistent pedal feel at normal temperatures.

Should I replace both sides at once?

It's recommended. Replacing the pads on both sides of the axle together as a matched set promotes even, balanced braking, and you should inspect the rotors during the job.
