Built around noise-reducing shims and hardware, this BOSCH brake pad set, part number BP679, is a front application for the 1997-2003 Ford F-150, 2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 2002 Lincoln Blackwood, and 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage. For engine details, see the "Vehicles it fits" section.
BP679 belongs to the Bosch QuietCast line. Like other BOSCH quietcast brake pads, it pairs a copper-free friction formula with pre-attached multilayer shims.
- Copper-free friction formula: Bosch's patented copper-free friction formula uses an advanced aerospace alloy and complies with 2025 copper-free legislation. Bosch engineers formulated and tested the friction material.
- OE-style rubber core shim: The multilayer shims come pre-attached and bond rubber to steel. They are designed to lower noise and to add strength and corrosion resistance.
- PTFE & rubber coated hardware: Helps reduce vibration and noise and helps keep the pad from binding to the caliper.
- Powder-coated backing plate: Helps prevent rust and corrosion for longer pad life.
A protective transfer layer helps extend pad and rotor life. Synthetic lubricant is included in all applications to help reduce resistance on sliding contact points. Bosch's OE braking heritage dates back to 1927.
Signs a disc brake pad set may be due for replacement include squealing or grinding when braking, longer stopping distances, and friction material worn thin at inspection. Replace the pads on both front wheels at the same time for even, balanced braking.
Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does the Bosch BP679 fit?
It is listed for the front of the 1997-2003 Ford F-150, 2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 2002 Lincoln Blackwood, and 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
Is BP679 part of the Bosch QuietCast line?
Yes. Bosch lists it as a QuietCast brake pad. Its copper-free friction formula complies with 2025 copper-free legislation.
What helps keep these pads quiet?
Pre-attached multilayer rubber core shims and PTFE & rubber coated hardware are designed to reduce noise and vibration. Synthetic lubricant is included for the sliding contact points.
How do I know my front brake pads need replacing?
Common signs are squealing or grinding when braking, longer stopping distances, or pads worn thin at inspection. Have the brakes inspected to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
Should I replace the pads on both sides at once?
Yes. Replacing the pads on both front wheels together is recommended for even, balanced braking. Check the rotors' condition when you install new pads.
