Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:1551-1612-00
Designed to deliver strong, predictable friction at the rear axle, the Dynamic Friction Company Heavy Duty brake pads, part number 1214-1612-00, are built for demanding driving conditions. They fit many vehicles, among them the 2013-2016 Ford Explorer, 2013-2019 Ford Taurus and 2013-2019 Ford Flex, as a direct-fit rear replacement for the listed applications.
This disc brake pad set presses against the rotor when the caliper applies, creating the friction that slows the vehicle. Signs your rear pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding when braking, longer stopping distances, or pad material worn thin. Replacing the pads on both sides of the rear axle together is recommended for even, balanced braking. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of vehicles.
