Quiet your brakes and keep your wheels cleaner with the Wagner ThermoQuiet QC833 Front Disc Brake Pad Set. This ceramic set installs as a direct-fit front-axle replacement for the listed applications: 2001-2003 Ford Explorer Sport, 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer, 2003-2011 Ford Ranger, 2003-2010 Mazda B2300, 2003-2008 Mazda B3000, and 2003-2010 Mazda B4000 (all engines).
- Quieter operation: A unique Integrally Molded Insulator (IMI) plus an application-specific, laser-shaped friction surface spread out heat, sound, and vibration to reduce noise opportunities.
- Cleaner wheels: Wagner's OE25 zero-copper ceramic formulation is designed to reduce rotor wear and to produce less visible brake dust than conventional semi-metallic pads.
- Everyday performance: Ceramic friction is engineered for a smooth, consistent pedal feel and long-lasting friction performance during everyday street driving.
- Ready to install: Slotted with chamfered edges, and includes pad shims and abutment clips; a pad wear sensor is not included.
Each application uses one set, which covers the front axle. Replace the pads on both sides together as a matched set for even, balanced braking. Country of origin: United States.
