Both pads have a height of 54.4 mm (2.14 inches) and a width of 195.3 mm (7.69 inches), with an overall thickness of 17.5 mm (0.69 inches). The friction material is bonded to iron backing plates with a thickness of 6.6 mm (0.26 inches) for structural integrity. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and reduce brake fade during extended use. Chamfered edges help reduce noise and provide smoother engagement. This set does not include pad wear sensors or mounting hardware but does come with pad shims to assist with installation and noise control.\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\u003eUse the DuraGo BP1158MS pads to maintain effective braking performance and address common brake system issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Brake Issues Addressed\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fade caused by overheating during heavy use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise and vibration from worn or improperly fitted pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven pad wear due to poor heat dissipation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced stopping power from degraded friction material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake judder caused by warped rotors or uneven pad contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the DuraGo BP1158MS disc brake pads, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris.
