About the Raybestos Service Grade; Metallic Brake Pads

The Service Grade; Metallic line from Raybestos is designed to provide dependable braking performance with a focus on durability and noise control. These metallic disc brake pads feature slotted friction surfaces and chamfered edges to help reduce brake noise and improve pad bedding. The inclusion of attached pad shims further assists in vibration dampening, making this product line suitable for everyday driving conditions on compatible vehicles.

Detailed Product Description

This Raybestos disc brake pad set (SGD601M) is specifically engineered for use on Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles including the Continental, Sable, Taurus, and Windstar models. The metallic friction material composition offers a balance of wear resistance and effective braking performance. Slotted pads help dissipate heat generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under normal driving conditions. Chamfered edges on both inner and outer pads contribute to quieter operation by minimizing pad-to-rotor contact noise. The included pad shims are pre-attached, simplifying installation and further reducing noise and vibration.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake pads on compatible Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models
• Reduction of brake noise and vibration through chamfered edges and shims
• Improved heat dissipation to prevent brake fade during regular driving
• Restoration of consistent braking performance and pedal feel
• Addressing uneven pad wear with properly sized and slotted pads

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and the wheel removed before beginning installation. Remove the old brake pads and clean the caliper bracket to remove debris and corrosion. Verify that the pad shims are properly attached to the new pads before installation. Install the Raybestos SGD601M pads with the slotted side facing the rotor surface to maximize heat dissipation. After installation, check for proper caliper operation and perform a bed-in procedure as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer to optimize braking performance.
