Precision-cut or shaved backing plates and mechanically attached shims are used to improve caliper fit and reduce brake noise. The scorching process pre-burnishes the friction surface to speed initial break-in. This 104.08330 pad set is a direct fit for front brake applications on the Ford Ranger, Mazda B2300, Mazda B3000, Mazda B4000, Saturn Vue, Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent, Ford Explorer, and Mercury Mountaineer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake squeal caused by pad vibration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLonger break-in time after pad replacement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment concerns in the caliper area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear sensor replacement needs on supported applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible With front brake applications only. Verify rotor size and pad shape against the vehicle listing before installation, especially on Mazda B3000, Mazda B4000, and Mazda B2300 applications with 286mm front discs. Use the included shims and wear sensor preparation as specified for the vehicle. Part number 104.08330 should be matched to the exact fitment row for the correct model year and front position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCentric’s Posi Quiet line is engineered with OE-style positive molding, asbestos-free friction material, and noise-control details such as shims and backing plate finishing.
