Product Details

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are manufactured to G3000/G11H18 cast iron specifications and machined to tight tolerances to match OE requirements for durability, stability, and reliable braking performance. The coated surface helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the non-directional finish supports quieter operation and consistent pad contact. The 5000 Advanced brake pads are post cured for stable friction and scorched to reduce initial break-in time. This part number, 4502-99168, is a practical front brake solution for drivers servicing a Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, or Mercury Mountaineer.

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Front brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotors
• Brake noise caused by aged pads or rotor surface wear
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Reduced stopping performance from worn friction material
• Longer pedal travel from brake component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, front. Fits 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, front. Fits 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer, front.
