Fleet Metlok Product Line

The Fleet Metlok line is Bendix Friction’s severe-duty brake pad family for vehicles that see heavier use than standard passenger applications. The semi-metallic SDR formulation is aimed at front brake service where heat, load, and repeated stops place greater demand on pad material. MKD2382FM is part of that line and is positioned for front brake replacement on late-model Ford and Lincoln trucks and SUVs.

Detailed Description

MKD2382FM is a front disc brake pad set designed for 2021-2026 Ford F-150, 2022-2026 Ford Bronco, 2022-2026 Ford F-150 Lightning, 2022-2024 Ford Expedition, and 2022-2024 Lincoln Navigator front brake applications. The semi-metallic SDR friction material is formulated for severe-duty service, while the included burnishing strips support a smoother initial brake-in. Anti-noise shims are added to help control brake noise, and the pad set is vehicle tested for performance that meets or exceeds industry standards. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Front brake wear from frequent stop-and-go driving
• Brake fade concerns during repeated heavy braking
• Noise issues from worn or unstable front pads
• Uneven brake response after pad replacement
• Brake service needs on fleet, work-duty, and pursuit vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rotor condition, caliper operation, and pad fitment before installation. Clean the caliper bracket and contact points, apply the supplied brake lubricant where specified, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedure. After installation, complete the recommended break-in process to help the pads seat properly on the rotor surface.

Quality Assurance

Bendix Friction tests this pad set to verify performance against industry standards. The Fleet Metlok Semi-Metallic SDR formulation is built for severe-duty front brake service on late-model Ford and Lincoln applications, including Ford F-150, Ford Bronco, and Ford F-150 Lightning front brake replacement needs.
