Without brackets: Spare parts

Brake pads arrived without the 8 brackets in the picture. Discovered too late, there was nothing left but to take a risk and use the old rusty ones. Stay away.

Pros
  • Asbestos-free friction material
Cons
  • Long waiting time

Fits the front wheel well of the 2008 Navigator L

Fits the front brakes on my 2008 Navigator L. Fixed my noisy brake problem - the existing pads weren't really worn but they got loud. I found that a gasket had come loose on one side, which was probably the culprit. I put brake lube on the back of the installed pads and of course brake lube on the metal-to-metal contact pads.

Pros
  • BRACKET INCLUDED -- High quality stainless steel parts for some applications
Cons
  • I will add later

07 Ford Expedition Front Brakes

These are front brake shoes for the 2007 Ford Expedition. Installed with no problems. Cheaper than Advance Auto by about $34. By the way, the caliper hex bolts are 9mm. I don't understand why but most allen key sets are 8mm and 10mm but not 9mm. I ended up buying a set of Allen keys from Lowes which included 9mm.

Pros
  • ONE PIECE DESIGN - IMI technology integrates friction material, backing plate and isolator into one brake shoe for some applications
Cons
  • No instructions

Excellent brake pads, very satisfied so far.

Ordered these for my '08 Expedition. I've had these brakes thousands of miles and still no squeaks or squeaks. These brakes wore out very quickly after a few hard stops after installation and during normal city driving. I also use Wagner ThermoQuiet on my Mazda 6 and got the same results. Quality brake with good braking performance. Not sure if they will last 70k as an OEM, over time I will update as they wear out.

Pros
  • COPPER FREE CONNECTION -- Poorly thought out with Wagner OE25 copper free friction formula

Oh I love these pads the best

Thought I'd try them on my '07 Expedition. After reading many disc brake pad reviews online, Wagner ThermoQuiet brake pads seem to be a favorite of many. So I figured I'd give it a try since I was only spinning the rotors anyway. They were a little easy to put on, but I had to bend the spring clips a bit to fit the pistons. After that, it remains only to lubricate the guides and tighten them with screws. BTW if you push the pistons back always open the fluid outlet as if you were just pushing…

Pros
  • EXCELLENT BRAKING POWER -- Advanced friction compounds dissipate heat for superior braking performance
Cons
  • Big and bulky
