When you press the brake pedal, the caliper squeezes the pads against the rotor, and that friction slows the vehicle. As the friction material wears down, stopping can feel different and the pads may start to make noise. If you are shopping for rear brake pads for a 2020-2026 Ford Explorer used in fleet, pursuit or work service, this set is intended for that kind of hard service.
Replacing the pads on both sides of the axle together is recommended for even, balanced braking. Inspect the rotors when you change pads, and follow the vehicle service information for the installation steps and for whether any hardware should be replaced.
