2001 Ford F-450 Super Duty Front Brake Pads and Shoes

Providing maximum braking performance on towing, heavy hauling, and frequent braking applications, Carquest Frontline Severe Duty brake pads are the ideal choice for severe duty applications.

Product Features:

• Severe duty friction formulations dissipate heat faster for extended pad life
• On-vehicle testing similar to original equipment tests
• Patented 4-Layer HEX Shim Technology provides quiet braking
• HEX shim design utilizes aramid fibers, the same fibers used in bulletproof vests, to reduce shim wear
• PTFE coated hardware and caliper pin grease included for nearly every application
• Powder-coated backing plate prevents corrosion

Super Duty – Integrally Molded (BRSD) – Ford Retail Specification Engineered specifically for vehicles that are frequently exposed to high-heat and wear conditions, the new Super Duty brake pads from Motorcraft deliver the performance and quality Ford Motor Company has made standard in all their products. Motorcraft Super Duty brake pads employ friction materials that have been tested to ensure they meet the stopping and fade performance requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. The advantages of a Motorcraft Super Duty brake pad Patented NRS-MAXX backing plate – Increases bonding strength with the friction material to help ensure pads perform under high-heat and stress conditions. Ford Blue powder coating – Unique finish provides excellent durability, corrosion protection and long-lasting good looks. Precision pad abutment points – Reduce pad clatter/rattle and help ensure uniform pad wear. Proprietary pad formulas – Based on FMVSS, durability, noise and dust testing, and designed to deliver increased fade resistance, pad life and reduced rotor wear under severe, high-heat driving conditions.

Product Features:

• All recommended hardware is included in the box for quick installation
• Original Equipment (O.E.)-quality abutment points that help reduce pad clatter/rattle and help ensure uniform pad wear.
• Advanced shim design to help reduce noise and improve adhesion between the pad and backing plate.
• Slots engineered to help improve heat and water dissipation by providing a path for gases, wear debris and water to escape from between the pad and rotor surface.
• Ford Motor Company-tested friction formulas developed specifically for Super Duty brake pads to help ensure increased fade resistance, pad life, and reduced rotor wear under the most severe, high-heat driving conditions.
• Chamfers engineered to reduce the possibility of excessive noise during severe braking and initial break-in period.

Ford True OES (BRF) – Pads that were installed when vehicle was manufactured new. Ford Parts brake and friction products deliver the performance your customers experienced when they first drove off the showroom floor. Not only do they provide the best balance between braking performance and reduction of noise and vibration, they are built with the understanding that can only come from being the original equipment manufacturer. Motorcraft brake pads employ friction materials that have been tested to ensure they meet the stopping and fade performance requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

Product Features:

• Over 50 vehicle-model-specific friction formulas are uniquely designed and fine-tuned over a 12-month period to the vehicle weight distribution and driving dynamics
• Restore showroom-like performance
• Feature as many as 30 single-sourced, high-grade ingredients that some lower-cost pads rarely use
• Processed with high-quality weighing, mixing, pressing and post-curing equipment
• Made with high-quality raw materials: ones that some aftermarket suppliers avoid because of expense
• Product design in most applications includes high-tech materials such as Kevlar and fine-blank steel backing plates
• Feature sophisticated use of shims, slots and chamfers to reduce dusting, noise and brake fade
• Designed to balance the friction coefficient between front and rear to minimize early lock-up during braking
• Real-life vehicle tested and adjusted to meet or exceed the durability and government stopping effectiveness requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS)
• Tested and refined for maximum performance in stopping distance, durability, noise, brake vibration, pedal feel, fade and drag, wheel dust and rotor wear The importance of shims, slots and chamfers: Shims
• Multiple layers of sound-damping materials between stamped metal, also called insulators, improve noise abatement and vibration for the life of the pad
• Placed on backside of backing plate to help reduce the vibrations that cause brakes to squeal Slots
• Vertical, diagonal or horizontal grooves cut in brake pads
• Significantly reduce pad bending when heated in normal braking conditions
• Reduce noise that can result from pads that have become concave

The Power Stop Z16 Evolution ceramic brake pads feature a ceramic formula designed to maximize stopping power while reducing brake dust & eliminating noise. Using OE positive mold technology along with a thermal scorched pad surface, Z16 pads maintain consistent wear and performance while ensuring a fast break-in. The Z16 Evolution ceramic brake pads are an affordable stock replacement for all vehicles.

Product Features:

• Low-dust ceramic formula designed to maximize stopping power and keep wheels clean
• Positive mold technology for consistent wear and performance
• Thermal scorched pad surface for a fast break-in
• Chamfered and slotted to ensure noise-free braking
• Powder coated backing plate resists rust and corrosion to provide extended pad life
• Multi-Layer rubberized shims provide virtually noise-free braking
