Centric 106.10710 Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear

Centric Posi-Quiet Rear Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 106.10710 is built for rear brake service on select Ford, Mercury, and Jaguar applications. It uses a semi-metallic friction formula with OE-style positive molding for consistent density, even wear, and stable braking performance.

The Posi-Quiet line focuses on fit, noise control, and break-in consistency. This set includes precision-cut or shaved backing plates, mechanically attached shims, and a scorching process that helps remove impurities and pre-burnish the friction surface for faster bedding.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for rear disc brake service
• Positive molded construction for uniform friction density
• Integrally molded friction attachment
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to reduce vibration-related noise
• Scorched surface to accelerate break-in
• Asbestos-free formulation
• Mounting hardware and pad shims included
• No pad wear sensor provision

Product Details

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 106.10710 is engineered for rear brake replacement where consistent pedal feel and controlled noise matter. The pad design follows an OE-style molding process that compresses the friction material under high pressure, helping maintain even wear across the pad face. The semi-metallic compound is paired with shims and backing plate finishing details that support proper caliper fitment and quieter operation.

Compatible With 2008-2009 Ford Taurus, rear; 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X, rear; 2008-2009 Mercury Sable, rear; 2005-2008 Jaguar X-Type, rear; 2005-2007 Ford Five Hundred, rear; 2005-2007 Ford Freestyle, rear; and 2005-2007 Mercury Montego, rear. This part number, 106.10710, also cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Rear brake squeal caused by pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density
• Brake noise related to backing plate fitment
• Extended stopping-distance concerns from worn rear pads
• Harsh or inconsistent rear brake response during service replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor condition, caliper hardware condition, and pad fitment before installation. Clean the caliper bracket contact points, inspect slide pins, and follow the vehicle service procedure for bedding-in new pads. The pad set is prepared for rear applications only and does not use a pad wear sensor.

For fitment-specific searches, this Centric Posi-Quiet rear brake pad set 106.10710 is a direct match for 2005-2009 Ford, Mercury, and Jaguar rear disc brake applications listed above.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures the Posi-Quiet line using OE-style positive molding and adds scorching, shims, and backing plate finishing details to support consistent performance and reduced noise. The friction material is asbestos-free and supplied with the listed installation hardware where applicable.
