Centric 106.00500 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Centric Posi-Quiet XT Front Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets are built for front brake service on classic Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury applications. Part number 106.00500 uses a semi-metallic friction formula with OE-style positive molding for consistent density, even wear, and stable braking performance.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for dependable stopping performance
• Positive molded construction for uniform friction density across the pad
• Integrally molded friction attachment for consistent bond strength
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for proper caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to help reduce pad vibration noise
• Scorched friction surface to remove impurities and speed break-in
• Mounting hardware included where applicable
• Pad shims included

Product Details

The Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear line focuses on controlled wear, quiet operation, and predictable pedal feel. For front brake pad replacement on a 1975-1985 Ford F-150, 1973-1985 Ford F-250, or 1975-1979 Mercury Grand Marquis, this pad set is engineered with the same positive molding process used by OE suppliers. That process helps maintain consistent friction characteristics through the life of the pad. Part number 106.00500 also includes a pre-burnished, scorched surface to reduce break-in time after installation.

This part cross-references Wagner Brake SX50 for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Brake noise from pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent friction density
• Longer break-in time after brake service
• Poor caliper fitment from backing plate variation
• Reduced braking consistency on front disc brake systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor condition, caliper operation, and hardware condition before installation. Clean the caliper bracket and contact points, then install the included shims and hardware as specified for the vehicle. This front disc brake pad set is listed for applications including 1976-1985 Ford Bronco, 1975-1985 Ford E-150 Econoline, and 1974-1979 Mercury Cougar. Confirm single-piston or 1-piston caliper requirements where noted in fitment.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures Posi-Quiet pads using an OE-style positive molding process and adds scorching to help remove impurities from the friction material. The pads are asbestos free and built with fitment-focused details intended to support consistent wear and quieter operation.
