Product Details

Part number 4514-54124 is a complete brake service kit for the Ford Explorer Sport, combining coated rotors, semi-metallic pads, and hardware in one package. The GEOSPEC rotor coating is designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the machined rotor surface and balance inspection support quieter, more consistent stopping performance. The 5000 Advanced pad formulation is developed for stable friction output, and the included hardware is engineered to restore proper caliper movement and spring tension.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Brake noise from worn or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or weak hardware components
• Rotor rust buildup on exposed braking surfaces
• Brake pulsation related to worn rotors
• Reduced stopping consistency from aged pads

Installation Notes

Before installation, confirm the vehicle is a 2001-2002 Ford Explorer Sport with rear calipers using steel pistons, as listed in the fitment notes. Clean all mating surfaces, inspect caliper condition, and follow proper brake service procedures for pad bedding and rotor break-in. The rotors are processed dry and do not require oil removal before installation.

Quality Assurance

Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is machined to tight tolerances, inspected for balance on vented applications, and checked against OE specifications. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
