Centric 106.08331 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 Explorer Sport Trac and Ford Explorer Sport models. Part number 106.08331 uses an OE-style positive molding process to help maintain consistent friction density, even wear, and stable braking performance.
Key Features
- Semi-metallic friction material for front disc brake applications
- Positive molded construction for uniform pad density
- Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
- Mechanically attached shims to reduce pad vibration noise
- Scorched friction surface to speed initial break-in
- Asbestos-free friction formulation
- Pad wear sensor included and prepared for wear sensor use
- Mounting hardware included
- Pad shims included
Product Details
Centric engineered the Posi-Quiet line to address common brake complaints such as noise and vibration. The friction material is compressed under high pressure and bonded to the backing plate, helping create consistent contact and wear characteristics over the life of the pad. For Ford Explorer Sport Trac and Ford Explorer Sport front brake service, part number 106.08331 also includes a pre-burnished surface treatment to help shorten the break-in period.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Compatible with 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, front and 2001-2003 Ford Explorer Sport, front, Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets.
Common Brake Issues Addressed
- Brake squeal from pad vibration
- Uneven pad wear across the friction surface
- Reduced braking consistency during daily driving
- Longer initial bedding-in after pad replacement
- Fitment concerns at the caliper due to backing plate variation
Installation Notes
Verify rotor condition, caliper operation, and sensor routing before installation. Use the included shims and hardware where applicable, and confirm the pad wear sensor connection matches the vehicle’s front brake setup. Proper bedding-in after installation helps establish stable friction transfer on the rotor surface.
Quality Assurance
Centric uses an OE-style positive molding process and added scorching treatment to improve consistency and reduce impurities in the friction material. The Posi-Quiet line is built with noise-control details such as precision backing plates and attached shims to support reliable front brake performance on the listed Ford Explorer Sport Trac and Ford Explorer Sport applications.
