Detailed Description

The MPA Electrical 1003-0499M brake pad set uses a semi-metallic compound selected for front brake service on specific Ford and Lincoln platforms. The friction formula is tuned for predictable pedal response, even wear characteristics, and fade-resistant stopping performance under changing thermal conditions. Included shims and abutment clips support quieter operation and proper pad seating in the caliper bracket.

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

What It Helps Address

• Squealing or brake noise from worn front pads
• Excessive brake dust from aging friction material
• Uneven or inconsistent pedal feel during stops
• Reduced stopping performance from worn semi-metallic pads
• Brake fade during repeated front brake use
