Centric 106.06010 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Centric Posi-Quiet Front Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets are built for front brake service on select Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln applications. Part number 106.06010 uses a semi-metallic friction formula with OE-style positive molding to promote consistent density, even wear, and stable braking performance.

This brake pad set is a direct-fit option for drivers searching for front brake pads for 1994-2000 Ford Taurus, 1994-2001 Ford Sable, 1994-2000 Mercury Sable, 1995-1998 Ford Windstar, and 1993-1994 Lincoln Continental. The Centric Posi-Quiet line focuses on fitment details that help reduce brake noise and vibration.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for front disc brake service
• Positive molded construction for consistent friction density
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to help reduce vibration-related noise
• Scorched friction surface to remove impurities and speed break-in
• Asbestos-free friction formulation
• Mounting hardware included
• Pad shims included

Product Line Details

The Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear line is engineered with OE-style manufacturing methods and application-specific friction compounds. For part number 106.06010, Centric combines molded friction material, attached shims, and a pre-burnished surface treatment to support consistent pedal feel and quieter operation in everyday front brake use.

Detailed Description

Centric 106.06010 is a front disc brake pad set designed for vehicles that need a semi-metallic replacement pad with controlled wear characteristics. Positive molding compresses the friction material under high pressure, helping maintain uniform density across the pad face. That consistency supports even braking response as the pads wear. The backing plates are precision cut or shaved, and the shims are mechanically attached to improve caliper fit and reduce pad vibration. A scorching process is also applied to help clear impurities from the friction material and shorten the initial break-in period. This part cross-references Wagner Brake SX601 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake squeal caused by pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density
• Longer break-in time after brake service
• Front brake noise on Ford Taurus and Ford Sable applications
• Fitment issues related to caliper contact and backing plate tolerances
