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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese disc brake pads are compatible with the following makes and models:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Fusion (front disc brakes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLincoln Continental (front disc brakes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLincoln MKZ (front disc brakes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey are designed to replace worn or damaged front brake pads and improve braking performance while minimizing dust accumulation on wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by This Brake Pad Set\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive brake dust buildup on wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fade during extended or aggressive braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake noise and vibration from uneven pad wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking responsiveness due to worn pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty in installation due to missing hardware or shims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the Power Stop 17-1818B brake pads, ensure the mounting hardware and pad shims are properly positioned to avoid uneven wear and noise.
