Centric Parts 106.16111 front brake pad for the 2013-2017 Ford Explorer and other vehicles is a semi-metallic pad built for extended wear in severe duty use. It belongs to the Posi Quiet Extended Wear line of Centric Parts brake pads.
- Advanced semi-metallic formulation for stopping power and durability in severe duty brake applications
- Mechanical Retention System (MRS) for friction retention and shear strength, where applicable
- Multi-layered shims, 100% shimmed to control noise and vibration over a wide temperature range
- Extended-Wear Friction Sensors
- Positive Molded Technology for consistent performance
Squealing, grinding or a pulsing pedal can mean front pads are worn. Before you replace the pads, rule out a sticking caliper or a damaged rotor, which can produce a similar noise or pull. Front pads wear on both sides of the axle, so replace them on both front wheels together.
Beyond the Explorer, the fit includes the 2013-2019 Ford Taurus and the 2019-2020 Ford Police Responder Hybrid, among many others. If your car isn't named here, open the "Vehicles it fits" section and check your exact model and engine.
