DuraGo BP1158C Disc Brake Pad Set - Front
Overview of DuraGo BP1158C Disc Brake Pad Set
The DuraGo BP1158C disc brake pad set is designed for reliable braking performance on select Ford and Mercury vehicles. Engineered with ceramic friction material and slotted design, this brake pad set offers consistent stopping power for models like the Ford Explorer, Explorer Sport Trac, Mountaineer, and Taurus.
- Ceramic friction material for quieter braking and reduced dust
- Slotted pads to help dissipate heat and reduce brake fade
- Chamfered edges to minimize noise and vibration
- Includes pad shims for proper fit and noise reduction
- Iron backing plates bonded to friction material for durability
Technical Details and Features
The DuraGo BP1158C brake pads feature a friction material thickness of 10.9 mm (0.43 inches) on both inner and outer pads, ensuring ample material for extended use. The pads are slotted to improve heat dissipation during braking, which helps maintain consistent performance under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a smoother driving experience. The friction material is ceramic-based, known for producing less brake dust and providing quieter operation compared to semi-metallic pads. The backing plates are made of iron and the friction material is securely bonded to the plate for reliable wear characteristics. Pad shims are included to assist with noise reduction and proper installation, though mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included.
