DuraGo BP970MS Disc Brake Pad Set - Front
Durable Disc Brake Pads for Ford Focus and Transit Connect
The DuraGo BP970MS disc brake pad set offers reliable braking performance designed specifically for Ford Focus and Transit Connect models. Engineered with semi-metallic friction material and slotted design, these pads provide consistent stopping power and heat dissipation for everyday driving conditions.
- Semi-metallic friction material for balanced performance and durability
- Slotted pads to reduce heat buildup and improve braking efficiency
- Chamfered edges to minimize noise and vibration
- Backing plates made of iron for structural strength
- Includes pad shims for proper fit and noise reduction
Technical Specifications and Features
The DuraGo BP970MS brake pads feature an outer pad friction material thickness of 0.44 inches (11.2 mm) and an inner pad thickness of 0.43 inches (11 mm), ensuring ample material for extended service life. The pads are bonded to iron backing plates with thicknesses of 0.22 inches (outer) and 0.24 inches (inner), providing a solid foundation for consistent braking. The slotted design helps channel away dust and gases generated during braking, reducing fade and maintaining performance. Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter operation by preventing uneven wear and vibration. While mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included, pad shims are supplied to assist with installation and noise control.
Compatible Vehicles and Applications
This disc brake pad set is compatible with select Ford models, including the Ford Focus and Ford Transit Connect. The DuraGo BP970MS is designed to meet the braking demands of these vehicles, making it suitable for routine maintenance or replacement of worn brake pads.
- Addresses brake noise and vibration issues
- Replaces worn or damaged brake pads
- Improves braking response and pedal feel
- Helps reduce brake fade under normal driving conditions
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the DuraGo BP970MS brake pads, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris. Use the included pad shims to reduce noise and ensure proper pad alignment. Since mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included, inspect existing hardware for wear and replace if necessary. Properly torque caliper bolts and test brake operation before driving.
