Brake Kit for Escape, Mariner, and Tribute
The DFC Geospec Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads kit is built for front and rear brake service on select Ford, Mercury, and Mazda compact SUVs with rear drum brakes. Part number 4514-54233 combines coated rotors, advanced friction pads, and drum brake service components in one application-specific package.
Key Features
- Fits 2006-2007 Ford Escape, front and rear
- Fits 2005-2007 Mercury Mariner, front and rear
- Fits 2005-2006 Mazda Tribute, front and rear
- DFC 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured for stable friction performance
- Scorched pad surfaces reduce initial break-in time and improve first-stop response
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
- GeoSpec coated rotors use a silver-gray protective finish to resist rust
- Rotors are dry processed and ready to install
- Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and quieter stops
- Hardware kits use PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
Product Details
DFC’s BrandLine combines Geospec rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads and matching drum brake service components for vehicles that use rear drum brakes. The rotor design follows OEM-style cast iron specifications and tight machining tolerances, while the pad formulation is developed for consistent friction across a range of driving conditions. Part number 4514-54233 is a direct service solution for drivers replacing worn front and rear brake components on the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, and Mazda Tribute.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Brake Service Issues
- Brake noise during stops
- Rust buildup on rotor surfaces
- Uneven pad wear or reduced braking feel
- Longer stopping distances from worn friction parts
- Corroded or fatigued drum brake hardware
Installation Notes
Verify rear drum brake configuration before ordering. Clean all mating surfaces, inspect calipers and drum brake components for wear, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specifications during installation. The coated rotors are shipped dry and do not require oil removal before service. Use proper bedding procedures after installation to help establish even pad transfer.
Quality Assurance
DFC rotors are 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and every rotor is covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The pads are post-cured and scorched for consistent performance, and the hardware is engineered to OE-style form, fit, and function.
