Centric 106.03870 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front
Centric Posi-Quiet Front Brake Pads
Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets are built for front brake service on select Ford, Mazda, and related applications. Part number 106.03870 uses a semi-metallic friction formula with OE-style positive molding to promote consistent wear and stable braking performance.
For drivers searching for front brake pads for a 1987-1994 Ford Ranger, 1991-1994 Ford Explorer, or 1988-1997 Ford Aerostar, this Centric pad set is engineered to address common brake noise and vibration concerns while maintaining proper caliper fitment.
Key Features
- Semi-metallic friction material for dependable stopping performance
- Positive molded construction for consistent friction density across the pad
- Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for improved caliper fit
- Mechanically attached shims to help reduce vibration-related noise
- Scorched friction surface to remove impurities and speed initial break-in
- Asbestos-free formulation
- Mounting hardware and pad shims included
- Prepared for vehicles without a pad wear sensor
Product Details
The Centric Posi-Quiet line focuses on brake pad consistency, fit, and noise control. This 106.03870 set is manufactured with the same positive molding process used by OE suppliers, helping the friction material wear evenly over time. Centric also applies a scorching process to pre-burnish the pads and reduce the break-in period, which is useful when replacing worn front brake pads on Ford Ranger, Ford Bronco II, Mazda Navajo, and similar front-disc brake applications.
This part cross-references Bendix Fleet Metlok MKD205FM and Gates 21830 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Brake squeal caused by pad vibration
- Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density
- Harsh or noisy front brake operation
- Longer break-in time after brake service
- Fitment issues related to backing plate and shim design
Installation Notes
Verify rotor condition, caliper hardware, and guide pin movement before installation. Clean the caliper bracket and contact points, then install the included shims and hardware as specified for the vehicle. Confirm front fitment for the exact year and model before ordering; this part is listed for 1983-1985 Ford Ranger, 1986-1994 Ford Ranger, 1984-1985 Ford Bronco II, 1986-1990 Ford Bronco II, 1987-1997 Ford Aerostar, 1991-1994 Ford Explorer, 1994 Mazda B2300, 1994 Mazda B3000, 1994 Mazda B4000, and 1991-1994 Mazda Navajo, all front applications.
Quality Assurance
Centric designs the Posi-Quiet brake pad line with OE-style manufacturing methods, mechanically attached shims, and a pre-burnished friction surface to support consistent performance and reduced noise. Part number 106.03870 is built as an asbestos-free semi-metallic front disc brake pad set.
