This product line is engineered to provide a quieter braking experience with features like chamfered edges and included pad shims. The slotted design enhances heat management, which helps maintain consistent braking performance over time. The 16-803 part number is tailored for Ford Windstar vehicles, ensuring proper fitment and reliable operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details and Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese disc brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition that offers stable friction and less dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 17.2 mm, contributing to longer service intervals. The slotted design helps channel away heat and gases generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. Chamfered edges reduce noise and vibration, while the included pad shims further dampen sound for a smoother braking experience. Note that these pads do not include a pad wear sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Ford Windstar models requiring front disc brake pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for drivers seeking low-dust ceramic pads with performance characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for daily driving and moderate performance braking needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or noisy front brake pads on Ford Windstar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps address issues such as brake dust accumulation, brake noise, and reduced braking efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the Power Stop 16-803 brake pads, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and the wheels are removed.
