Bosch Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:BC1259A
Bosch BC881 rear brake pad for the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer and other vehicles presses against the rotor to slow the vehicle.
A worn disc brake pad set can show up as squealing or grinding when you brake, a longer stopping distance or a pulsing pedal. Before you replace the pads, rule out a sticking caliper slide or a damaged rotor, which can produce similar noises and uneven wear.
This rear brake pad fits the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer and the 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer; either one takes a single set of four pads.
