Product Line Details: Power Stop Rear Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads

The Power Stop - Rear Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware are part of Power Stop's performance-oriented product line focused on delivering low dust and quiet operation. This line features ceramic friction material combined with slotted and chamfered pad designs to optimize braking performance while minimizing brake dust accumulation. The inclusion of mounting hardware and pad shims ensures a straightforward installation process and proper fitment for compatible vehicles.

Technical Features and Benefits

These rear disc brake pads utilize a ceramic friction material composition that offers stable friction characteristics and reduced brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The 13.8 mm thickness on both outer and inner pads provides durability and longer service intervals. Slotted pads help dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter braking by minimizing pad-to-rotor contact noise. The included mounting hardware and pad shims facilitate proper alignment and reduce vibration.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged rear brake pads on Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Mazda 6, Mercury Milan, and Mercury Zephyr
• Reduces brake dust buildup on wheels for cleaner appearance
• Minimizes brake noise and vibration during operation
• Improves heat dissipation to prevent brake fade in stop-and-go driving
• Ensures consistent braking performance with performance-grade ceramic material

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Power Stop 17-1161 brake pads includes the supplied mounting hardware and pad shims to ensure proper fit and function. It is recommended to clean the brake caliper and rotor surfaces before installation. Verify compatibility with your vehicle’s rear disc brake system, specifically for Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Mazda 6, Mercury Milan, and Mercury Zephyr models. Since these pads do not include a wear sensor, inspect existing sensors for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
