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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake pad set is compatible with the following vehicles:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Explorer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Explorer Sport Trac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury Mountaineer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Taurus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen searching for replacement brake pads for these models, referencing the part number BP1158C ensures correct fitment and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by DuraGo BP1158C Brake Pads\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake noise and vibration due to worn or incompatible pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking efficiency from overheated or glazed pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive brake dust accumulation on wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven pad wear causing premature replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fade during extended or heavy braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore installation, verify compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model.
