Product Details

The Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear line focuses on stable pedal feel and controlled wear through OE-style positive molding. For the Ford Mustang rear brake application, part number 106.10820 uses integrally molded semi-metallic friction material, which helps maintain uniform density as the pads wear. Centric also uses backing plate and shim details that support proper caliper fitment and help limit noise from pad vibration. The pre-scorched friction surface is designed to reduce the initial bedding-in time after installation. This part cross-references Ford OE number AR3Z2200A for the same application.

Common Brake Issues This Part Can Address

• Rear brake squeal or vibration noise
• Uneven pad wear across the friction surface
• Longer-than-expected break-in after pad replacement
• Reduced braking consistency from worn rear pads
• Fitment concerns caused by backing plate or shim mismatch

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear axle fitment before ordering and compare the old pad shape, backing plate profile, and hardware layout to Centric 106.10820. Clean the caliper bracket and pad contact points before installation, and inspect rotors, slides, and caliper hardware for wear or corrosion. Proper bedding-in after installation helps the semi-metallic friction material seat evenly and supports quiet operation on the Ford Mustang rear brake system.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures Posi-Quiet pads using an OE-style positive molding process and adds scorching, precision backing plate finishing, and mechanically attached shims to improve consistency and reduce noise. The friction material is asbestos free and the pad set is supplied with the listed installation hardware and shims.
