Overview of Centric Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Sets

The Centric Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set 301.06000 offers reliable braking performance for Ford and Mercury vehicles. Designed specifically for models like the Mustang, Cougar, and Thunderbird, these ceramic brake pads provide consistent stopping power and durability.

  • Ceramic friction material for quieter braking and reduced dust
  • Includes mounting hardware and pad shims for easier installation
  • Outer and inner pad thickness of 17.2 mm for extended pad life
  • Integrally molded friction material attachment for durability
  • Set includes 4 brake pads compatible with specified Ford and Mercury models

Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This disc brake pad set features a ceramic friction material composition, which is known for producing less brake dust and noise compared to semi-metallic pads. The outer and inner pads both measure 70.6 mm in height and 136.8 mm in width, with an overall thickness of 17.2 mm, ensuring a precise fit and consistent braking performance. The friction material is integrally molded to the backing plate, enhancing durability and reducing the risk of delamination. Included in the package are mounting hardware and pad shims, which help facilitate proper installation and reduce vibration during braking.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This Centric Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set 301.06000 is compatible with select Ford and Mercury vehicles, including:

  • Ford Mustang
  • Ford Thunderbird
  • Mercury Cougar

These pads are designed to meet the braking requirements of these models, providing reliable stopping power under normal driving conditions.

Common Issues Addressed by This Brake Pad Set

  • Brake noise and squealing
  • Excessive brake dust buildup on wheels
  • Uneven or premature pad wear
  • Reduced braking responsiveness
  • Vibration or pulsation during braking

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Centric 301.06000 brake pads is simplified by the inclusion of mounting hardware and pad shims. It is recommended to inspect the brake rotors for wear or damage before installation and replace or resurface as necessary. Proper cleaning of the caliper and hardware will help ensure optimal pad performance. Since these pads do not include or require a wear sensor, no additional wiring is needed.
