The pads are post-cured, then scorched to remove uncured bonding agents, which helps reduce initial bedding time. DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors use a silver-gray protective coating and OEM-style cast iron construction for durability and stable operation. The included hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel for OE-style form and fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Brake Kit Helps Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotor rust and surface corrosion on daily-driven vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven braking feel caused by worn or glazed friction material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive caliper movement related to aged brake hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLonger stopping distances from worn front brake components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible With front axle service on 2009-2012 Ford Escape, 2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2009-2011 Mercury Mariner applications listed above. Verify caliper piston type before ordering, especially on Escape and Mariner models with phenolic front caliper pistons or phenolic piston calipers. The rotors are processed dry and ready to install, so no oil removal is required before assembly. Part number 4512-99179 should be matched to the exact vehicle and front brake configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDFC machines the rotors to tight tolerances, applies a non-directional finish, and inspects critical dimensions to help ensure OE-spec performance. Vented rotors are balance-checked and corrected when needed. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynamite Friction","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52472534597813,"sku":"HBHR-4512-99179","price":184.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1442\/1173\/files\/DF_451299179_Fro.jpg?v=1777960740","url":"https:\/\/www.partcatalog.com\/products\/dynamite-friction-4512-99179-disc-brake-kit-front","provider":"PartCatalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
