Silence rear brake squeal and keep stops smooth with the Wagner ThermoQuiet QC1665 Rear Disc Brake Pad Set (MPN QC1665). This ceramic set installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the listed applications, including the 2013-2020 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, 2015-2024 Ford Edge, 2017-2019 Ford Escape, and 2019-2023 Lincoln Nautilus.
Wagner's TQ ceramic friction uses the zero-copper OE25 formulation and a molded-in IMI insulator, with an application-specific, laser-shaped friction surface that spreads out heat, sound and vibration to help keep operation quiet during everyday street driving. The ceramic compound also produces lighter, less-visible dust than conventional semi-metallic pads for cleaner wheels.
- Quiet by design: IMI molded insulator, zero-copper OE25 friction and a laser-shaped surface help reduce noise and vibration.
- Cleaner wheels: the ceramic formulation helps cut down on brake dust.
- Ready to install: includes pad shims, abutment clips and a mechanical wear sensor, with chamfered and slotted pads.
This set includes the pads for the rear axle; for even, balanced braking, replace the pads on both sides together as a matched set. Country of origin: United States. FMSI number 8893-D1665 · Manufacturer part number QC1665.
