Both pads have a height of 49.3 mm (1.94 inches) and a width of 140.5 mm (5.53 inches), with an overall thickness of 14 mm (0.55 inches). The friction material is bonded to iron backing plates with a thickness of 5.2 mm (0.2 inches) for structural integrity. The pads come with chamfered edges to reduce noise and vibration during braking, and the slotted design helps channel away dust and gases to maintain consistent braking performance. While pad wear sensors and mounting hardware are not included, pad shims are provided to help reduce noise and improve fitment.\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\u003eThese pads are suitable for drivers seeking replacement disc brake pads that meet regular grade performance standards for daily driving and light-duty use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by DuraGo BP981MS Brake Pads\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking efficiency due to worn or thin brake pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake noise caused by uneven pad wear or vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fade from excessive heat buildup during prolonged braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven pad contact leading to premature rotor wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibration or pulsation during braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the DuraGo BP981MS brake pads, ensure the rotors are inspected and resurfaced or replaced if necessary to maintain optimal braking performance.
