Centric 106.07020 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Centric Posi-Quiet Brake Pads for Front Fitment

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set, part number 106.07020, is built for front brake applications that demand consistent pedal feel and controlled stopping performance. It is a direct-fit option for select Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, and Dodge Ram 1500 models.

The Posi-Quiet line uses an OE-style positive molding process to help maintain even friction density across the pad surface. For drivers searching for front brake pads for a 2001-2003 Ford F-150 or a 1997-2001 Ford Expedition, this pad set combines semi-metallic friction with noise-reduction details and hardware support for a cleaner replacement job.

Key Features

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

Product Details

Centric 106.07020 is part of the Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets line, a product family focused on OE-style manufacturing and noise control. The positive molding process compresses the friction material under high pressure and bonds it to the backing plate, helping deliver uniform pad density and predictable wear characteristics over time. Centric also applies a scorching process to remove impurities from the friction surface and reduce the time needed for break-in.

This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes EHT702H and Wagner Brake SX702 for the same application. It is listed for front brake service on vehicles including the Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, and Dodge Ram 1500, with fitment notes that vary by year and configuration.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Brake squeal from pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent friction density
• Longer-than-expected break-in after pad replacement
• Front brake service needs on older Ford and Dodge truck applications
• Wear sensor replacement during front pad service

Installation Notes

• Verify year, make, model, and front-position fitment before installation.
• Match the vehicle configuration notes exactly, including lug count and production-date limits where listed.
• Inspect caliper condition, rotor surface, and slide hardware before installing new pads.
• Use the included shims and hardware during installation for proper pad seating.
• Follow a controlled break-in procedure after installation to seat the friction material.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures Posi-Quiet pads using an OE-style positive molding process and adds scorching, shims, and precision backing-plate details to support consistent performance and reduced noise. The friction material is asbestos free and the pad set is supplied with the listed wear-sensor and hardware features for the specified applications.
