The AD2231 disc brake pad set is part of this line, providing a balance of quality and reliability for Ford Aviator, Explorer, and Mustang models.
Product Details and Features
The ADVICS AD2231 brake pads feature ceramic friction material, known for its stable friction coefficient and reduced brake dust compared to semi-metallic alternatives.

The backing plate is made from fine blank steel, providing structural integrity and resistance to warping. Additionally, the pads include multi-layer black shims that help reduce noise and vibration during braking. Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter operation and smoother engagement.

Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the ADVICS AD2231 disc brake pads, ensure the mechanical pad wear sensor is properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring.
