Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:1551-1044-00
Built for low brake dust and excellent fade resistance, the Dynamic Friction Company EURO 5000 ceramic front brake pads (part number 1600-1044-00) use an advanced ceramic formulation designed for stable friction performance. This set fits many vehicles, among them the 2013-2019 Ford Escape, 2012-2018 Ford Focus and 2007-2016 Ford EcoSport. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
Each time you press the pedal, the caliper squeezes the pads against the rotor, and that friction slows the wheel. The friction material wears down with use. Signs your front pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding, a longer stopping distance, or pads that look worn thin on inspection. For even, balanced braking, replace the pads on both sides of the front axle at the same time, and check the rotors while the wheels are off.

What does a disc brake pad set do?
When you press the brake pedal, the caliper clamps the pads against the rotor. The friction between them slows and stops the wheel.
What are the signs that my front brake pads may need replacing?
Common signs include squealing or grinding when braking, a longer stopping distance, or friction material worn thin. Inspect the pads and rotors to confirm the cause.
