Product Details

DFC’s BrandLine combines Geospec rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads and matching drum brake service components for vehicles that use rear drum brakes. The rotor design follows OEM-style cast iron specifications and tight machining tolerances, while the pad formulation is developed for consistent friction across a range of driving conditions. Part number 4514-54233 is a direct service solution for drivers replacing worn front and rear brake components on the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, and Mazda Tribute.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Service Issues

• Brake noise during stops
• Rust buildup on rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad wear or reduced braking feel
• Longer stopping distances from worn friction parts
• Corroded or fatigued drum brake hardware

Installation Notes

Verify rear drum brake configuration before ordering. Clean all mating surfaces, inspect calipers and drum brake components for wear, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specifications during installation. The coated rotors are shipped dry and do not require oil removal before service. Use proper bedding procedures after installation to help establish even pad transfer.

Quality Assurance

DFC rotors are 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and every rotor is covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The pads are post-cured and scorched for consistent performance, and the hardware is engineered to OE-style form, fit, and function.
