About the Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads Line

The Power Stop - Rear Z16 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads line focuses on delivering performance-oriented braking solutions with low dust output. This product line uses ceramic friction material combined with design features such as slots and chamfered edges to provide consistent braking performance while maintaining cleaner wheels. The inclusion of pad shims helps reduce noise, making these pads suitable for drivers seeking a balance between performance and comfort on heavy-duty Ford trucks.

Product Details and Specifications

These rear disc brake pads feature a uniform friction material thickness of 17.4 mm on both outer and inner pads, ensuring even wear and reliable braking over time. The ceramic composition offers stable friction characteristics under various driving conditions, while the slotted design aids in heat dissipation to prevent brake fade during heavy use. Chamfered edges reduce the risk of edge crumbling and help the pads engage smoothly with the rotor. Although these pads do not include a pad wear sensor, the included shims help reduce noise and vibration for a quieter braking experience.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged rear disc brake pads on Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty
• Reduces brake dust accumulation on wheels compared to standard pads
• Helps mitigate brake fade during towing or heavy load conditions
• Minimizes noise and vibration through included pad shims
• Improves braking consistency with slotted and chamfered pad design

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 16-1068 rear disc brake pads, ensure the brake system is clean and free of debris. Properly align the pads with the caliper and rotor, taking care to install the included shims to reduce noise.
