Centric 106.09700 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 106.09700, is built for front brake service on select Ford applications. It combines semi-metallic friction with OE-style positive molding to help maintain consistent pad density, wear, and braking feel.

Compatible with 2010-2013 Ford Transit Connect, front and 2002-2004 Ford Focus, front, this Centric brake pad set is engineered for drivers looking for a direct-fit replacement with attention to noise control and break-in performance. The 106.09700 part number is also a useful reference when comparing OE-style replacement options for these vehicles.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for dependable braking performance
• Positive-molded construction for consistent friction density across the pad
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to help reduce vibration-related noise
• Scorched friction surface to speed initial pad break-in
• Asbestos-free formulation
• Mounting hardware and pad shims included
• Prepared for vehicles without a pad wear sensor

Product Details

The Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear line focuses on stable pedal response, even wear, and reduced brake noise through OE-style manufacturing methods. Positive molding compresses the friction material under high pressure and bonds it to the backing plate, helping the pad maintain uniform density as it wears. Centric also uses a scorching process to remove impurities from the friction surface and pre-condition the pads for faster bedding-in after installation. For Ford Transit Connect and Ford Focus front brake service, 106.09700 provides a practical replacement option with the fitment and hardware details needed for a clean brake job.

This part cross-references Wagner Brake (e.g., QC970, SX970) for the same application.

Common Brake Issues This Part May Address

• Brake squeal or vibration from worn front pads
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent friction material density
• Reduced braking response from aged semi-metallic pads
• Noise from backing plate or shim fitment problems
• Longer break-in time after pad replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front axle fitment before ordering. This pad set is listed for 2010-2013 Ford Transit Connect, front and 2002-2004 Ford Focus, front. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and slide pins during installation, and replace worn components as needed to support even pad contact. Follow the recommended bedding procedure after installation to help the pads seat properly.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures the Posi-Quiet line using OE-style positive molding and adds scorching to improve consistency and initial performance. The pads are asbestos free and include shims and mounting hardware where applicable, supporting a more complete brake service for the listed Ford applications.
