Rear Brake Kit for Ford Explorer, Ranger, and Mountaineer

The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a rear disc brake service kit built for OE-style fitment and consistent braking performance. Part number 4512-99120 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and matched hardware for select Ford and Mercury rear brake applications.

Key Features

• Rear disc brake kit for select 1995-2002 Ford and Mercury vehicles
• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Rotors are processed dry and ready to install
• 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
• Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
• Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and smoother stops

Product Details

DFC built this brake service kit around OE-style requirements for rear braking systems. The coated rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and inspected for critical dimensions and balance. The ceramic pads are formulated for stable friction and reduced break-in time, while the included hardware is designed to restore proper caliper movement and spring tension. This part number, 4512-99120, is a practical choice for drivers servicing a Ford Explorer, Ford Ranger, or Mercury Mountaineer rear brake setup.

Compatible With: Fits 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, rear; Fits 1998-2002 Ford Ranger, rear; Fits 2001-2002 Ford Explorer Sport, rear with steel piston rear calipers; Fits 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer, rear. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven rear pad wear caused by corroded or stressed hardware
• Reduced stopping consistency from worn rotor surfaces
• Longer brake service time caused by uncoated rotors that need extra prep
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces

Installation Notes and Tips

Rear brake service should include inspection of caliper condition, rotor thickness, and mounting surfaces before installation. The dry-coated rotors are ready to install without oil removal, and the non-directional finish helps promote a smoother pad bed-in. For the 2001-2002 Ford Explorer Sport, verify rear calipers with steel pistons before ordering. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque and bedding procedures.

Quality Assurance

DFC states that each rotor is inspected for critical attributes to meet OE specifications, and vented rotors are balance-corrected when needed. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance, and the hardware kit uses OE-style materials for form, fit, and function.
