Keep front stops crisp and predictable with the Dynamic Friction Company DFC 5000 Advanced Disc Brake Pad Set (P/N 1551-0034-00, also written 1551003400). This semi-metallic front brake pad set is a direct-fit replacement for the 1968 Mercury Montego and 1973 Mercury Cougar — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
This listing is the front-axle pad set. For even, balanced braking it's best practice to service both front wheels at the same time and to inspect the rotors while the pads are out. Signs the friction material may be due for replacement include brake squeal, longer stopping distances, or a pedal that no longer feels firm. Confirm your specific vehicle in the Buyer's Guide before ordering.

Do I need to replace both sides?
