Centric 106.12780 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Centric Posi-Quiet Front Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 106.12780 is built for front brake service on select Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator models. It combines semi-metallic friction with OE-style positive molding, helping deliver consistent pad density, even wear, and stable braking performance.

The Posi-Quiet line focuses on fit, noise control, and break-in consistency. For 2007-2009 Ford Expedition front brake pad replacement and 2007-2009 Lincoln Navigator front brake pad replacement, this part number 106.12780 uses precision backing plate details, attached shims, and a scorching process to support quieter operation and faster initial bedding.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for front disc brake applications
• Positive molded friction construction for consistent density
• Integrally molded friction attachment
• Precision cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to reduce vibration-related noise
• Scorched friction surface to help speed up break-in
• Asbestos-free formulation
• Mounting hardware included
• Pad shims included

Product Details

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets are engineered using the same positive molding process used by original equipment suppliers. That process compresses the friction material under extreme pressure so the pad maintains uniform density across the friction surface. The result is more even wear and more consistent braking feel over the life of the pad. Part number 106.12780 also includes a scorching step that removes impurities from the friction material and pre-burnishes the pad surface for quicker bedding after installation.

This front brake pad set is a direct fit for 2007-2009 Ford Expedition and 2007-2009 Lincoln Navigator front brake service. This part cross-references Wagner Brake MX1278 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise during stops
• Vibration-related pad chatter
• Uneven pad wear
• Inconsistent pedal feel from worn front pads
• Extended break-in time after brake service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify caliper, rotor, and hardware condition before installation. Clean the caliper bracket and pad contact points, and follow the vehicle service procedure for bedding-in new pads. Confirm front axle fitment against your Ford Expedition or Lincoln Navigator before ordering part number 106.12780.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures the Posi-Quiet line with OE-style production methods and application-specific friction formulations. The pads are asbestos free and built with shims and backing plate details intended to support proper fitment and controlled noise characteristics.
