Centric 106.08810 Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear

Overview

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 106.08810 is built for rear brake service with a semi-metallic friction formula and integrally molded attachment. It is a fitment-based replacement for select Ford Explorer, Mercury Mountaineer, Jeep Liberty, Jeep TJ, and Jeep Wrangler applications.

Positive molding, precision backing plate preparation, and included shims help promote consistent pad contact and quieter operation. The 106.08810 pad set also uses a scorching process to reduce break-in time.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for balanced braking performance.
• Integrally molded friction attachment for consistent pad construction.
• Pad shims included to help reduce vibration-related noise.
• Mounting hardware included where applicable.
• Asbestos-free formulation.

Detailed Description

Centric engineered the Posi-Quiet line using a positive molding process similar to OE supplier methods, compressing the friction material under high pressure for uniform density across the pad. That construction supports even wear and stable performance over the service life of the brake pad. The 106.08810 also benefits from precision cut or shaved backing plates and mechanically attached shims, which improve caliper fit and help control noise.

This part cross-references Wagner Brake (e.g., SX881, ZX881) for the same application. It is a direct-fit rear brake pad solution for 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer, 2003-2007 Jeep Liberty, 2004-2006 Jeep TJ, and 2004-2006 Jeep Wrangler. The 106.08810 is also listed for 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer, rear.

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise caused by pad vibration.
• Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density.
• Extended break-in time after brake service.
• Poor caliper fit from imprecise backing plate preparation.
• Rear brake replacement needs on supported Ford, Mercury, and Jeep applications.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, and model before installation. Inspect caliper condition, rotor surface, and guide hardware during service, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake bedding procedure after installation. The pad set is prepared for applications without a pad wear sensor.

Quality Assurance

Centric states that Posi-Quiet pads use an OE-style positive molding process and a scorching step to remove impurities and speed initial bedding. The friction material is asbestos-free, and the design includes shims and backing plate preparation focused on noise control and consistent wear.
