Product Details
The DFC 4000 HybriDynamic Brake Pads are engineered around a hybrid friction formulation to deliver consistent pedal feel and dependable brake response in routine driving. This rear disc brake pad set is sized for the listed Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer fitments, making 4000-0881-00 a direct-match service part for those applications. The pad design emphasizes controlled stopping performance while helping reduce brake dust and brake noise during normal street use.
Fits 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, rear. Fits 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer, rear. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Brake Issues It Can Address
- Worn rear brake pads causing reduced stopping performance
- Brake squeal or noise from aged friction material
- Excess brake dust buildup on wheels
- Uneven pedal feel during everyday braking
- Rear brake service needs on Explorer and Mountaineer models
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm rear axle fitment before ordering and compare pad dimensions to the removed parts. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and guide pins during service, and replace worn components as needed to restore even pad contact. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse only serviceable hardware or source the correct replacement parts separately. Proper bedding-in after installation helps establish consistent friction transfer and braking feel.
Quality Assurance
Dynamite Friction positions the DFC 4000 HybriDynamic Brake Pads as a value-focused brake solution with consistent response, low dust, and low noise characteristics for daily driving. Part number 4000-0881-00 is built for the listed rear applications and follows the brand’s hybrid friction approach for routine brake service.
