Centric 106.12790 Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear

Centric Posi-Quiet Rear Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets are built for rear brake service on select Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, and Lincoln MKT applications. Part number 106.12790 uses a semi-metallic friction formula with OE-style positive molding to promote consistent density, even wear, and stable braking performance.

The Posi-Quiet line focuses on fit, noise control, and break-in consistency. For rear brake pad replacement on a 2007-2017 Ford Expedition or 2007-2017 Lincoln Navigator, this Centric brake pad set includes the details that matter for caliper fitment and quieter operation.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for rear disc brake service
• Positive-molded friction material for consistent density across the pad
• 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 remove impurities and speed initial break-in
• Asbestos-free friction formulation
• Mounting hardware and pad shims included
• Prepared for vehicles without a pad wear sensor

Product Details

Centric 106.12790 is part of the Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets line, a product family focused on OE-style manufacturing methods and controlled friction performance. The positive molding process compresses the friction material under high pressure before bonding it to the backing plate, helping maintain uniform pad density from edge to edge. Centric also uses a scorching process to reduce surface impurities and shorten the normal bedding-in period.

This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes PGD1279M and Wagner Brake MX1279 for the same application. It is a rear brake pad solution for 2013-2019 Lincoln MKT, 2007-2017 Ford Expedition, and 2007-2017 Lincoln Navigator applications, including the 2013-2019 Lincoln MKT rear setup with performance front caliper and 16mm mount hole notes.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Rear brake noise from worn or uneven pads
• Brake vibration caused by backing plate or shim wear
• Reduced braking consistency from aged friction material
• Longer-than-normal pad break-in after replacement
• Poor caliper fitment from distorted or worn pad hardware

Installation Notes

Verify rear fitment by year, make, model, and caliper configuration before installation. Inspect rotors, caliper slides, and hardware condition during service, and replace worn components as needed to support even pad contact. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s bedding procedure after installation to help establish proper friction transfer.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures Posi-Quiet pads using OE-style positive molding and adds a scorching process to improve consistency and initial performance. The friction material is asbestos free, and the pad design includes shims and backing plate details intended to support quieter rear brake operation on the listed Ford and Lincoln applications.
