Detailed Features and Benefits

The Power Stop - Front Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware are crafted with ceramic friction material, which is known for producing less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation, helping to maintain consistent braking performance during demanding driving conditions. Chamfered edges reduce noise and vibration, while the friction surface is scorched to improve initial bite and reduce bedding-in time. Both the outer and inner pads have an overall thickness of 18.2 mm, ensuring long-lasting wear. This set includes mounting hardware and pad shims to facilitate a secure and proper fit on compatible vehicles.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

These disc brake pads are compatible with the following makes and models:

• Ford Fusion (front disc brakes)
• Lincoln Continental (front disc brakes)
• Lincoln MKZ (front disc brakes)

They are designed to replace worn or damaged front brake pads and improve braking performance while minimizing dust accumulation on wheels.

Common Issues Addressed by This Brake Pad Set

• Excessive brake dust buildup on wheels
• Brake fade during extended or aggressive braking
• Brake noise and vibration from uneven pad wear
• Reduced braking responsiveness due to worn pads
• Difficulty in installation due to missing hardware or shims

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 17-1818B brake pads, ensure the mounting hardware and pad shims are properly positioned to avoid uneven wear and noise. The chamfered edges and scorched friction surface help reduce bedding-in time, but it is recommended to follow standard break-in procedures for optimal performance. Verify compatibility with your specific Ford Fusion, Lincoln Continental, or Lincoln MKZ model year before installation.
