Wagner Brake SX1645 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Overview

Wagner SevereDuty brake pad set SX1645 is built for demanding braking conditions where frequent stops, heavy loads, and pursuit-duty use place extra stress on the brake system. It is a front disc brake pad set for select Ford and Lincoln applications, with fitment that includes the Ford Transit Connect, Ford Escape, and Lincoln MKC.

Key Features

• SevereDuty formulation for demanding service conditions.
• Pad shims included for noise control and stable pad support.
• Abutment clips included for proper pad movement in the bracket.
• FMSI 8873-D1645 for application identification.
• Fits front brake applications on select Ford and Lincoln models.

Detailed Description

Wagner Brake SX1645 is a disc brake pad set from the SevereDuty line, engineered for vehicles that see repeated braking, gear hauling, and heavier operating loads. The pad design is intended for front brake service on 2013-2017 Ford Escape, 2014-2020 Ford Transit Connect, and 2017-2019 Lincoln MKC applications with a 7.142-inch inner plate. This part cross-references Akebono ProACT ACT1645 for the same application. The SX1645 part number is also identified by FMSI 8873-D1645, which helps confirm the correct pad shape during replacement.

Common Issues Addressed

• Worn front brake pads that reduce stopping performance.
• Brake noise caused by aged pad hardware or uneven pad contact.
• Reduced braking consistency during frequent stop-and-go driving.
• Brake fade concerns in vehicles carrying heavier loads.
• Fitment problems when replacing pads on the specified Ford and Lincoln models.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the 7.142-inch inner plate specification before ordering. Confirm the front brake application and match the FMSI number, SX1645, to the removed pads or vehicle catalog data. The included shims and abutment clips support a complete pad replacement, and the pad wear sensor is not included.

Quality Assurance

Wagner SevereDuty pads are tested for durable performance in fleet, police-pursuit, and other demanding driving conditions. The SevereDuty line is positioned for vehicles that require consistent braking under repeated stress.
