Centric 106.07480 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, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. This Centric brake pad set uses a semi-metallic friction formula with molded attachment, shims, and included mounting hardware for a precise, quiet brake job.

Compatible With 1998-2002 Ford Crown Victoria front, 1998-2002 Lincoln Town Car front, and 1998-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis front. Part number 106.07480 is a direct-fit option for drivers looking for OE-style brake pad replacement on these applications.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for consistent braking performance
• Positive molding process for even friction density across the pad surface
• Integrally molded friction attachment for stable pad construction
• 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 initial break-in
• Asbestos-free formulation
• Mounting hardware and pad shims included

Product Details

The Centric Posi-Quiet line focuses on brake pad consistency, fit, and noise control. For part number 106.07480, Centric uses an OE-style positive molding process that compresses the friction material under high pressure, helping maintain uniform density for even wear over the life of the pad. The Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets also use backing plate and shim details that support proper caliper fitment and help reduce brake squeal and vibration. This makes the set a practical choice for front brake service on the Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis.

This part cross-references Wagner Brake SX748 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Helps Address

• Front brake squeal or vibration during stops
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent friction density
• Poor caliper fitment from worn or incorrect pads
• Extended break-in time after brake service
• Brake noise related to pad movement in the caliper

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front axle fitment before installation and inspect rotors, calipers, and slide hardware for wear or damage. Clean the caliper bracket and pad contact points, then follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedure and bedding recommendations. Because this set is prepared for vehicles without a pad wear sensor, confirm sensor requirements before ordering. The included hardware and shims support a complete front brake pad replacement on the listed applications.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures the Posi-Quiet line using an OE-style molding process and application-specific friction formulations. The pads are asbestos free and include design details aimed at consistent wear, stable performance, and reduced noise on the specified Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury front brake applications.
