Centric 106.06900 Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear

Centric Rear Brake Pads for OE-Style Fitment

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets are built for rear brake service on select Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury applications. Part number 106.06900 uses a semi-metallic friction formula with OE-style positive molding to promote consistent density, even wear, and stable braking performance.

For 1996-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, 1996-2002 Lincoln Town Car, and 1996-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis rear brake service, this pad set is specified for vehicles with phenolic-piston calipers. The 106.06900 application also includes fitment notes for the Town Car excluding limo models.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for rear disc brake applications
• Positive molded construction for uniform friction density
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to reduce vibration-related noise
• Scorched friction surface to remove impurities and speed break-in
• Asbestos-free friction formulation
• Mounting hardware and pad shims included
• Prepared for vehicles without a pad wear sensor

Product Line Details

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear brake pads are part of Centric’s Posi-Quiet line, which focuses on OE-style construction details and controlled friction consistency. The line uses manufacturing steps such as positive molding and scorching to support even pad wear and a smoother initial bedding process. Part number 106.06900 follows that approach for rear brake service on the listed Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury platforms.

Detailed Description

Centric 106.06900 is a rear disc brake pad set engineered for select 1996-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis models with phenolic-piston calipers. The pad material is semi-metallic, and the friction block is integrally molded to the backing plate for consistent contact and wear characteristics. Pad shims are included, along with hardware where applicable, to support proper caliper fitment and quieter operation.

This part cross-references Wagner Brake SX674A and Raybestos Brakes ATD674AP for the same application. If you are searching for rear brake pads for a 1996-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, rear brake pads for a 1996-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis, or rear brake pads for a 1996-2002 Lincoln Town Car with phenolic piston calipers, 106.06900 is the direct fitment reference to verify.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Rear brake pad wear on listed Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles
• Brake noise caused by pad vibration
• Uneven friction wear from inconsistent pad density
• Longer initial bedding time after brake service
• Fitment concerns on phenolic-piston rear caliper applications

Installation Notes and Tips

• Compatible With 1996-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, rear, phenolic-piston calipers.
• Compatible With 1996-2002 Lincoln Town Car, rear, phenolic piston caliper; excludes limo models.
• Compatible With 1996-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis, rear, phenolic-piston calipers.
• Inspect rotors, caliper condition, and slide hardware before installation.
• Follow the vehicle-specific bedding procedure after installation to establish proper pad transfer.
• Confirm caliper type before ordering, since fitment is limited to phenolic-piston rear applications.

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 before service. The backing plate and shim details are used to support fitment consistency and reduce noise-related issues during operation.
