That consistency supports predictable wear and stable pedal feel over the service life of the pad. Precision-cut or shaved backing plates and mechanically attached shims are used to improve caliper fit and reduce brake noise caused by vibration. The pads are also scorched to remove impurities and speed up initial break-in. This part number, 106.03240, is a direct fit for select front brake applications on Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, and Lincoln Continental models listed in the fitment data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing worn front disc brake pads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing brake squeal from pad vibration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring braking response after pad wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServicing vehicles with phenolic-piston calipers where listed in fitment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify the vehicle’s year, make, model, and front brake configuration before installation. The fitment data includes a note for 1986-1992 Ford Taurus and 1986-1992 Mercury Sable with phenolic-piston calipers. Confirm pad dimensions and hardware requirements against the existing brake assembly, and follow standard brake service procedures for cleaning, bedding, and torque specification. Part number 106.03240 should be matched to the exact application shown in the fitment table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCentric’s Posi-Quiet line uses OE-style positive molding, shims, and scorching to support consistent friction characteristics and quieter operation.
