Product Line Details: Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads

The Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads are part of Power Stop's performance-oriented product line designed to reduce brake dust and noise while maintaining effective braking. This line focuses on ceramic friction material that offers a cleaner finish on wheels and consistent performance under various driving conditions. The inclusion of mechanical wear sensors and precision slotting reflects the line's attention to both safety and comfort for rear brake applications.

Technical Description and Features

These disc brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that provides stable friction and reduced dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 17.3 mm, contributing to longer service intervals. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, which can improve pad life and reduce brake fade. Chamfered edges help to minimize noise and ensure smooth engagement with the rotor. Included pad shims further reduce vibration and noise, enhancing overall braking comfort. Mechanical pad wear sensors are integrated to alert drivers when replacement is necessary, supporting proactive maintenance.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged rear disc brake pads on Ford F-150, F-150 Heritage, and Lincoln Mark LT
• Reduces brake dust accumulation on wheels for cleaner appearance
• Minimizes brake noise and vibration during operation
• Helps prevent brake fade under moderate performance driving conditions
• Ensures timely brake maintenance with included mechanical wear sensors

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 16-1012 brake pads, ensure the mechanical wear sensors are properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring. Clean the rotor surface before installation to promote optimal pad contact. Use the included pad shims to reduce noise and vibration. It is recommended to replace brake pads in axle sets to maintain balanced braking performance. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for caliper hardware during reassembly.
