The pads are slotted to help channel away heat and gases generated during braking, which helps maintain braking efficiency. Chamfered edges reduce noise and provide smoother engagement. The friction material is ceramic-based, offering a balance of durability and quiet operation. The iron backing plates are bonded to the friction material for structural integrity. Pad shims are included to reduce vibration and noise, but mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included with this set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake pad set is compatible with select Ford and Jeep models, specifically designed for:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Explorer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Explorer Sport Trac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeep Liberty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the DuraGo BP981C pads to replace worn or damaged brake pads on these vehicles to restore braking performance and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by DuraGo BP981C Brake Pads\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking efficiency due to worn pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake noise caused by uneven pad wear or poor fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fade from excessive heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibration or pulsation during braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake dust accumulation on wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the DuraGo BP981C brake pads, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris.
