Features and Benefits of Power Stop - Front Z17 Brake Pads

The Power Stop - Front Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware are part of Power Stop's performance line, focusing on delivering effective braking with reduced dust and noise. The ceramic friction material composition ensures a quieter operation compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Slotted and chamfered edges help to dissipate heat and prevent uneven wear, extending pad life and maintaining consistent braking performance. Included mounting hardware and pad shims simplify the installation process and help reduce vibration.

Designed for Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC Front Disc Brakes

This disc brake pad set is engineered to fit front brake systems on Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC vehicles. The precise friction material thickness of 16.9 mm on the outer pad and 17.0 mm on the inner pad ensures optimal contact and braking efficiency. These pads do not include a pad wear sensor but come complete with all necessary hardware for a secure fit.

Common Issues Addressed by These Brake Pads

  • Excessive brake dust buildup on wheels
  • Brake noise and vibration during stopping
  • Uneven pad wear leading to reduced braking performance
  • Difficulty in installation due to missing hardware
  • Reduced braking efficiency in daily driving conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 17-1978 brake pads, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and the front wheels are removed. Use the included mounting hardware and pad shims to properly secure the pads and reduce noise. Inspect the brake rotors for wear or damage and replace if necessary to maintain optimal braking performance. Since these pads do not include wear sensors, monitor pad thickness regularly to determine replacement intervals.
