The Story
Rear Brake Kit for Explorer, Explorer Sport Trac, and Mountaineer
DFC Friction part 4512-99159 is a rear disc brake kit built for select Ford and Mercury SUVs and trucks. It combines GEOSPEC coated rotors, 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads, and brake hardware for a complete rear brake service.
Key Features
- Rear disc brake kit for 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for reduced noise and vibration
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
- Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- Part number 4512-99159 for rear brake service applications
Product Details
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware line is engineered as a service kit for drivers replacing worn rear brake components on the Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and Mercury Mountaineer. The rotors are machined to OE-style tolerances from G3000/G11H18 cast iron, then finished dry and ready to install. The coated surface helps resist rust, while the non-directional finish supports quicker pad bed-in and quieter stops. The 5000 Advanced pads are post cured, scorched, and assembled with noise-reducing shims for stable friction performance. DFC part 4512-99159 is a practical choice for rear brake refresh work on these platforms.
Common Problems This Kit Can Address
- Rear brake noise during stops
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Uneven pad wear from fatigued hardware
- Reduced braking smoothness from worn rear components
- Longer pedal response caused by aged brake parts
Installation Notes and Tips
Compatible With rear brake service on 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer. Inspect calipers, slides, and brake fluid condition before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly so the coated rotor seats flat, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specifications during assembly. The rotor coating is designed to be worn away by the pads during normal use.
Quality Assurance
Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, with vented rotors electronically mill-balanced when required. The rotors carry a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
