This line features ceramic friction material combined with slotted and chamfered pad designs to enhance heat dissipation and minimize brake squeal. The inclusion of mounting hardware and pad shims ensures a straightforward installation process and proper pad alignment for Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Grand Marquis, and Mercury Town Car rear brake systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetailed Product Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese disc brake pads utilize ceramic friction material, which is known for producing less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 15.3 mm, providing ample material for extended service life. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, which can improve overall brake performance and reduce fade. Chamfered edges further contribute to quieter operation by minimizing pad-to-rotor contact noise. Included mounting hardware and pad shims facilitate proper installation and help maintain pad stability during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement rear brake pads for Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Grand Marquis, and Mercury Town Car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces brake dust accumulation on wheels for cleaner appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimizes brake noise and vibration through slotted and chamfered design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsures consistent braking performance with performance-grade friction material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes all necessary mounting hardware and pad shims for rear brake installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure rotor surfaces are clean and free of debris before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck brake fluid levels and inspect calipers for wear during pad replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow manufacturer torque specifications for hardware to avoid over-tightening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerform a bed-in procedure after installation to optimize pad performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower Stop brake pads are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function.
