Common Issues These Pads Address

• Worn front brake pads causing reduced stopping performance
• Brake noise from aged friction material or worn shims
• Uneven pedal feel during normal braking
• Excessive brake dust from deteriorated pad material
• Fade during repeated stops or higher-temperature braking

Installation Notes

Verify front axle fitment, sensor requirements, and pad shape before installation. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and bracket surfaces for wear or corrosion, and clean all contact points before assembly. Because mounting hardware and brake lubricant are not included, reuse or replace related service parts as needed during brake service. Confirm the vehicle application against the part number 1003-0801M before installation on Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, or Mercury Cougar front brake systems.
