The Power Stop - Front Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware offer a reliable braking solution designed specifically for Ford E-Transit, Transit-150, Transit-250, Transit-350, and Transit-350 HD models. Engineered with ceramic friction material and performance-grade features, these pads provide consistent stopping power while minimizing brake dust.

• Performance-grade ceramic friction material for smooth braking
• Slotted design to reduce heat and improve pad bite
• Chamfered edges and friction surface scorched for noise reduction
• Includes mounting hardware and pad shims for proper installation
• Outer and inner pad thickness of 16.8 mm for extended pad life

Detailed Features and Specifications

The Power Stop - Front Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware (part number 17-2423) are crafted with ceramic friction material that offers quieter operation and less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The slotted design helps dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, which enhances overall braking performance and reduces the risk of brake fade. Chamfered edges and a scorched friction surface further contribute to quieter stops and smoother engagement.

Both the outer and inner pads maintain a thickness of 16.8 mm, ensuring durability and longer service intervals. This disc brake pad set is designed for front axle use and includes mounting hardware and pad shims to facilitate proper fitment and reduce vibration. Note that pad wear sensors and brake lubricant are not included with this set.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

These brake pads are compatible with the following Ford models:

• Ford E-Transit
• Ford Transit-150
• Ford Transit-250
• Ford Transit-350
• Ford Transit-350 HD

They are ideal for drivers seeking a performance-oriented ceramic brake pad solution that balances stopping power with reduced dust and noise.

Common Issues Addressed by This Brake Pad Set

• Excessive brake dust buildup on wheels
• Brake noise and squealing during stops
• Brake fade under heavy or repeated braking
• Uneven pad wear causing vibration or reduced braking efficiency
• Frequent replacement due to thin pad material

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 17-2423 brake pads, ensure the mounting hardware and pad shims are properly positioned to prevent vibration and noise. The chamfered edges and scorched friction surface are designed to optimize pad bedding and reduce break-in time. Although brake lubricant is not included, applying a high-temperature brake grease to the backing plate contact points is recommended to maintain smooth operation.
