Brake Kit for Ford Explorer and Mountaineer

DFC Friction part number 4504-54060 is a complete disc brake kit with GEOSPEC coated rotors and 5000 Advanced brake pads. It is built for front and rear service on select Ford and Mercury SUVs, including Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and Mercury Mountaineer applications from 2006-2010.

The DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads line combines OE-style rotor construction with pad materials prepared for stable friction performance, quieter operation, and faster bed-in. This kit is organized for drivers servicing a 2006-2010 Ford Explorer brake job or a 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer brake replacement with matched components in one package.

Key Features

• Fits front and rear brake service applications
• GEOSPEC coated rotors resist rust with a silver-gray finish
• Rotors are shipped dry and ready to install
• Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and smoother stops

Detailed Description

DFC 4504-54060 is engineered as a service kit for drivers who want matched brake components for the Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and Mercury Mountaineer. The rotors use a coated finish to help fight corrosion, while the pad set is prepared to deliver stable braking characteristics from the first stops after installation. The rotor machining process includes tight tolerances, a non-directional finish, and balance inspection on vented rotors for consistent operation.

Part number 4504-54060 is part of the DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads product line, which focuses on pairing coated rotors with advanced friction materials for everyday driving and service replacement. This makes it a practical choice for a 2006-2010 Ford Explorer brake kit, a 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac brake kit, or a 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer brake kit.

What This Brake Kit Helps Address

• Brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotors
• Noise caused by aged pads or inconsistent pad contact
• Reduced stopping performance from worn friction material
• Rotor surface corrosion on vehicles exposed to moisture and road salt
• Longer service time when rotors and pads are replaced separately

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the confirmed front and rear positions listed for the vehicle application. Clean all mating surfaces before assembly, and follow proper brake service procedures for pad bedding after installation. Because the rotors are shipped dry, no oil removal step is needed before installation. Verify fitment by year, make, model, and position before ordering.

• Fits 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, front and rear
• Fits 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, front and rear
• Fits 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer, front and rear
