PowerStop Z47-2281 Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear

Rear brake pads for severe-duty fleet use

PowerStop Z47-2281 rear brake pads are built for medium-duty and last-mile fleet vehicles that operate at or near full GVW on a daily basis. This rear disc brake pad set uses a semi-metallic, carbon-fiber-infused friction formula to support consistent stopping performance and lower cost-per-mile in demanding service.

Compatible with Ford Transit-350 HD rear brake applications, the Z47-2281 is engineered as an upgrade over stock brake pads for severe-duty use. The pad friction is mechanically attached to the backing plate for high shear resistance, and the set includes premium stainless-steel hardware for a cleaner brake service.

Key features

• Semi-metallic friction material with carbon-fiber reinforcement
• Designed for medium-duty and fleet vehicles running full GVW
• Mechanical friction attachment for maximum shear resistance
• Chamfered edges for more consistent pad contact
• Scorched friction surface for quicker break-in
• Pad shims included
• Mounting hardware included
• Rear fitment for Ford Transit-350 HD applications

Product details

The Power Stop Z47 MD and Fleet line focuses on durability, uptime, and service life in commercial use. This rear pad set is built with a performance-grade semi-metallic compound and carbon-fiber content to handle repeated stops under load. The 16.5 mm inner and outer pad thicknesses support long service intervals, while the chamfered design and scorched surface help promote stable bedding characteristics. PowerStop Z47-2281 also cross-references Bendix Fleet MetLok MKD2281FM for the same application.

What this brake pad set helps address

• Brake fade during repeated stops in loaded fleet operation
• Reduced stopping consistency on rear axle service brakes
• Premature pad wear in high-GVW daily driving
• Brake noise and uneven contact from worn or damaged pads
• Downtime caused by frequent brake service intervals

Installation notes and tips

Install on the rear axle only and verify rotor condition before assembly. Clean the caliper bracket and pad contact points, then follow the vehicle service procedure for bedding-in new pads after installation. Confirm the application by year, model, and GVW notes before ordering PowerStop Z47-2281 for Ford Transit-350 HD rear brake service.
