Centric 106.08030 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Centric Posi-Quiet Front Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets, part number 106.08030, are built for 1999-2003 Ford Windstar front brake service. This Centric brake pad set uses a semi-metallic friction formula with OE-style positive molding for consistent density, even wear, and stable pedal feel.

The Posi-Quiet line focuses on fit, noise control, and break-in performance. For Ford Windstar front brake pad replacement, 106.08030 includes precision-cut or shaved backing plates, mechanically attached shims, and a scorching process that helps remove impurities and speeds initial bedding.

• Semi-metallic friction material for front disc brake service
• Positive-molded construction for uniform friction density
• Integrally molded friction attachment
• Pad shims included for noise control
• Mounting hardware included
• Asbestos-free formulation
• Prepared for vehicles without a pad wear sensor

Product Details

Centric 106.08030 is a front disc brake pad set engineered for the 1999-2003 Ford Windstar. The pad design measures 58.0 mm in height, 164.4 mm in width, and 17.8 mm in overall thickness, with OE-style backing plate preparation and shim attachment to support proper caliper fitment. This part cross-references Gates 23635 for the same application.

Centric’s Posi-Quiet Extended Wear line is built around controlled friction material density and pre-burnished surfaces, which helps the pads seat faster after installation. If you are searching for 1999 Ford Windstar front brake pads, 2000 Ford Windstar front disc brake pads, 2001 Ford Windstar front brake pads, 2002 Ford Windstar front brake pads, or 2003 Ford Windstar front brake pads, part number 106.08030 matches that front axle application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake squeal caused by pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density
• Longer initial bedding time after brake service
• Front brake noise during everyday driving
• Fitment issues related to backing plate and shim design

Installation Notes

Verify front axle fitment before installation on a 1999-2003 Ford Windstar. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and slide components before installing 106.08030, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s bedding procedure after service. Because this pad set is not prepared for a wear sensor, confirm your brake system does not require sensor-equipped pads.

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. The line also uses shims and backing plate preparation to support consistent performance and reduced noise.
