DuraGo BP598C Disc Brake Pad Set - Front
Durable Ceramic Disc Brake Pads for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury
The DuraGo BP598C disc brake pad set offers reliable braking performance for select Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. Designed with ceramic friction material and slotted surfaces, these brake pads provide consistent stopping power and reduced noise for models like the Taurus, Continental, and Cougar.
- Ceramic friction material for smooth, quiet braking
- Slotted design 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 securely to friction material
Technical Details and Material Composition
The DuraGo BP598C brake pads feature a ceramic friction material with an outer and inner pad thickness of 11.4 mm (0.45 inches). The pads are slotted to improve heat dissipation during braking, which helps maintain consistent performance under various driving conditions. Chamfered edges reduce the likelihood of noise and vibration, enhancing overall driving comfort. The iron backing plates are bonded to the friction material, ensuring durability and structural integrity. Pad shims are included to assist with proper installation and noise reduction, although mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included.
Compatible Vehicles and Applications
This disc brake pad set is compatible with a range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models, including:
- Ford Taurus
- Ford Thunderbird
- Ford Sable
- Lincoln Continental
- Lincoln Mark VIII
- Mercury Cougar
Use the DuraGo BP598C pads to address common braking issues such as reduced stopping power, brake noise, and uneven pad wear.
- Brake squealing or noise during stops
- Reduced braking responsiveness or fading
- Uneven or premature pad wear
- Vibration or pulsation during braking
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the DuraGo BP598C brake pads, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris. Since mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included, reuse existing hardware if in good condition or replace as necessary. Properly install the included pad shims to reduce noise and ensure a secure fit. Always follow manufacturer torque specifications and safety procedures during installation.
