Product Details

DFC’s GEOSPEC rotor line is built for drivers who want a rear brake service that matches OE specifications for fit, balance, and braking consistency. The coated rotor surface helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the dry packaging eliminates the need to clean off oil before installation. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are post-cured and scorched to reduce initial break-in time and deliver stable friction from the first stop. This rear brake kit for Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer models is designed as a practical service solution for everyday driving and routine brake replacement. Part number 4512-99158 is a direct-fit rear brake kit for the listed applications.

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Rear brake noise during stopping
• Rust buildup on rotor surfaces
• Uneven or premature pad wear
• Reduced braking smoothness or pedal feel
• Corroded or fatigued brake hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Rear brake service on these applications is typically completed as an axle set. Inspect caliper movement, rotor condition, and hardware wear before installation. The rotor coating is removed naturally by the brake pads during normal use, so no extra preparation is needed. For consistent results, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedure and bed in the pads according to standard brake-in practice.

Quality Assurance

Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and checked for balance on vented designs. The rotors are engineered to meet OE specifications, and DFC backs each rotor with a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Part number 4512-99158 is built for dependable rear brake service on the Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer.
