Built tough for fleets, police-pursuit duty, and trucks that stop under heavy loads, the Wagner SevereDuty SX50 Front Disc Brake Pad Set clamps against the rotor to create the friction that slows the vehicle. It installs up front on a wide range of 1972-1985 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles — including the 1975-1985 Ford F-150 and Bronco, 1973-1983 F-100, 1973-1985 F-250, the E-100/E-150 Econoline vans, Lincoln Continental, and Mercury Cougar. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application list.
- Built for demand: engineered and OE-style on-vehicle tested for frequent stopping, gear hauling, and heavy loads.
- Long life: semi-metallic carbon-based friction material developed in-house for durable braking in the toughest applications.
- Zero-copper: uses the Wagner OE25 zero-copper friction formulation.
- OE-style shims: pad shims are included; this set is not slotted and does not include a wear sensor or abutment clips.
Signs the pads may need replacing include reduced braking, squealing, or grinding — diagnose the cause before servicing, as symptoms can have other sources. This set covers the front axle; replace both sides together as a matched set for even, balanced braking. Country of origin: United States. FMSI: 7056A-D50 · Manufacturer part number SX50.
