Backed by Bosch's OE braking heritage since 1927, the QuietCast friction material is engineered and tested for smooth, everyday street stops. Squealing, reduced braking feel, or vibration can be signs the front pads may need replacing — if worn pads are the cause, this set replaces them. Replace the pads on both sides of the axle together for even, balanced braking.
Where does the BC1044 pad set fit?
It is a direct-fit front brake pad set for the listed applications, including select Ford C-MAX, EcoSport, Escape, Focus, Mazda 3, 3 Sport, 5, and Volvo C30, C70, S40, and V50 models. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
What friction material does it use?
The QuietCast line uses a copper-free ceramic and semi-metallic friction formula that is compliant with 2025 Copper Free legislation.
Is hardware or lubricant included?
It features PTFE and rubber-coated hardware to help reduce vibration and prevent binding to the caliper, and synthetic lubricant is included in all applications.
What are signs the front pads may need replacing?
Squealing, reduced braking feel, or vibration can indicate worn pads. Diagnose the cause first; if the front pads are worn, this set replaces them.
Should I replace both sides at once?
Yes, for even and balanced braking it is best practice to replace the pads on both sides of the axle together as a matched set.
