Product Details

DFC Complete Brake Kits are organized to simplify brake service by grouping the main wear components into one package. This DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Silver with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads and Hardware Kit uses drilled and slotted rotors to support consistent braking performance while the silver finish adds corrosion protection. The semi-metallic pad formulation is paired with the rotor set for front-end brake maintenance on the listed truck and SUV platforms.

The 7512-54104 kit is a practical choice for owners servicing a Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, or Mercury Mountaineer front brake system, as well as compatible Mazda B3000 and B4000 front applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Kit Addresses

• Worn front brake rotors causing pulsation or uneven stopping feel
• Brake pad wear that reduces braking response
• Surface corrosion on rotor faces and hats
• Noise or vibration during braking service intervals
• Need for a complete front brake refresh on listed vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front axle fitment before ordering, since this kit is listed for front position only. Confirm the vehicle’s rear drum configuration against the fitment notes for the Ranger, B3000, and B4000 applications before installation. Inspect calipers, slides, and brake hoses during service, and clean hub mating surfaces to help ensure proper rotor seating.

Quality Assurance

Part number 7512-54104 is built for the confirmed front brake applications shown above.
