Built around Akebono's focus on noise, vibration and harshness control, the Akebono ProACT Disc Brake Pad Set, part number ACT1611, is a front brake pad set that uses an OE-validated ceramic formulation. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2013-2019 Ford Explorer, 2013-2017 Ford Taurus and 2013-2019 Ford Flex. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

Akebono calls this line its Ultra-Premium kit. These Akebono ProACT ceramic brake pads combine an application-specific ceramic formulation with precision-cut pressure plates and engineered chamfers and slots:

  • OE-validated ceramic formulation: Each application uses its own OE-validated ceramic formula.
  • Precision-cut pressure plates: The pads are built on precision-cut pressure plates.
  • Engineered chamfers and slots: Scientifically engineered chamfers and slots are designed for braking performance and NVH control.
  • Akebono engineering: Akebono Brake Corporation describes itself as the originator of ceramic brake technology and is an original-equipment brake brand on a wide range of models. It runs technical and R&D centers in Japan, the United States and France.

A brake pad presses against the rotor when the caliper applies, and the friction slows the wheel. Worn pads can squeal, grind or lengthen stopping distances. If worn front pads are the cause, this set replaces them. Inspect the rotors and caliper hardware during the brake job.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:

8881-D1611, 8824-D1611
