The Akebono ProACT ACT843 front brake pad for the 2001-2007 Ford Escape and other vehicles is a ceramic disc brake pad set that presses against the front rotors to slow the car.
- One of the Akebono ProACT ultra premium ceramic brake pads, made with an OE-validated, application-specific ceramic formulation.
- Precision-cut pressure plates.
- Scientifically engineered chamfers and slots for braking performance and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) control.
- Integrally molded friction material.
- From Akebono, originators of ceramic brake technology and an original equipment brake brand, with R&D centers in Japan, the United States and France.
Squealing or grinding when you brake, or stops that take longer, can mean the front pads are worn. With the car parked and cool, look through the wheel spokes; friction material that looks thin against its metal plate can mean the pads are due. Grinding can also come from a scored rotor or a sticking caliper, so have both looked at during the brake job before the new pads go on.
It fits the 2001-2007 Ford Escape, the 2005-2007 Mercury Mariner and the 2001-2006 Mazda Tribute, and each takes one set on the front axle.
