Detailed Description

What This Part Helps Address

• Reduced braking response from worn front pads
• Brake noise caused by aged or uneven pad material

• Uneven pad contact after a front brake refresh
• Service issues on Ford Escort, Tempo, Topaz, and Mercury Lynx/LN7 front brakes

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the front axle only and verify the vehicle’s exact year break, especially 1983 Escort, LN7, and Lynx applications noted as from 02/1983. Inspect rotors, caliper slides, and abutment surfaces before installation, and replace worn hardware as needed. Brake lubricant is not included, so use the proper brake grease on contact points during service.
