Product Details

The DFC 4000 HybriDynamic line focuses on predictable brake response and a steady pedal feel without forcing you to choose between comfort and performance. Part number 4000-1158-00 uses a hybrid friction material formulation and is sized for the front axle on the listed Ford and Mercury vehicles. For shoppers comparing Ford Explorer brake pads, Mercury Mountaineer front brake pads, or Ford Taurus Performance Package front pads, this set provides a direct replacement option with low-dust, low-noise operation for routine street driving. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake fade or inconsistent pedal response during normal driving
• Excess brake dust on wheels
• Brake noise from worn front pads
• Reduced stopping confidence from thin or uneven pads
• Front brake service on Ford Explorer, Explorer Sport Trac, Mercury Mountaineer, and Taurus Performance Package models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor condition, caliper operation, and pad fitment before installation. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or replace the existing hardware as needed during service. Confirm that the vehicle is equipped for the listed front application and that pad wear sensor provisions are not required for your setup. Part number 4000-1158-00 should be matched to the exact year, make, model, and front position shown in the fitment data.
