Centric 106.15080 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Centric Posi-Quiet Front Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets are built for front brake service on select Ford and Lincoln applications. Part number 106.15080 uses a semi-metallic friction formula with OE-style positive molding, precision backing plate details, and shims to support consistent braking performance and reduced pad noise.

Compatible With 2011-2019 Ford Explorer, front; 2011-2019 Ford Flex, front; 2011-2019 Ford Taurus, front; 2013-2019 Lincoln MKT, front with standard caliper; and 2011-2012 Lincoln MKS, front. This Centric brake pad set is also referenced by part number 106.15080 for easy catalog matching.

• Integrally molded friction attachment
• Pad shims included to help reduce vibration-related noise
• Mounting hardware included where applicable
• Scorched friction surface to accelerate break-in
• Asbestos-free formulation
• Prepared for pad wear sensor: No

Product Details

The Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear line focuses on fit, wear consistency, and noise control. Positive molding compresses the friction material under high pressure so the pad wears more evenly over time. Precision-cut or shaved backing plates and mechanically attached shims help the pad sit correctly in the caliper, while the scorching process removes impurities and pre-burnishes the friction surface for a quicker initial bedding period. Part number 106.15080 is a front disc brake pad set for Ford Explorer, Ford Flex, Ford Taurus, and Lincoln MKT and MKS applications listed above.

Common Brake Issues This Can Address

• Front brake squeal caused by pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density
• Brake pedal feel changes related to worn front pads
• Noise from poor pad-to-caliper fitment
• Extended stopping distance from worn friction material

Installation Notes

Verify caliper style and vehicle fitment before installation, especially on 2013-2019 Lincoln MKT models with standard calipers. Inspect rotors, calipers, and slide hardware during service, and clean the caliper bracket before fitting the new pads. Follow the recommended bedding procedure after installation to help the friction material seat properly. Confirm the part number 106.15080 against the vehicle application before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures the Posi-Quiet line using OE-style positive molding and application-specific friction compounds. The pads are asbestos free and include design details aimed at consistent wear and reduced noise, with hardware included where applicable.
