Product Details

Bosch BSD1278 is a front brake pad set engineered for the braking demands of full-size SUVs. The severe-duty semi-metallic formulation is suited to vehicles that carry more weight and see frequent stop-and-go use, helping maintain stable pedal response and dependable friction at the front axle. If you are searching for front brake pads for a 2007-2009 Ford Expedition or front disc brake pads for a 2007-2009 Lincoln Navigator, this Bosch application matches those vehicles directly. Bosch BSD1278 also appears in catalog searches as BSD1278, making it easier to verify the correct front brake pad set before ordering.

Bosch Severe Duty Semi-Met w/ Hardware identifies the product line and pad construction, which is focused on severe-duty braking needs rather than light-duty passenger-car use. This makes it a relevant choice for owners looking for a front brake pad replacement for Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator models from 2007 through 2009.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Front brake pad wear that reduces stopping consistency

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor condition, caliper operation, and pad fitment before installation. Clean the brake hardware contact points, inspect the braking surface for scoring, and follow the vehicle service procedure for bedding-in new pads after installation. Confirm the Bosch BSD1278 application against the vehicle’s year, make, model, and front position before service.
