Overview
The Baer Brakes D0824 is a set of four Claw ceramic front brake pads for the 2000–2005 Ford Excursion and the 2000–2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty. Brake pads are the friction parts that press against the rotor to slow the vehicle, and this set is aimed at heavy-duty Ford trucks and SUVs that are driven every day.
The Claw pad uses a premium high friction ceramic compound for consistent wear and performance. It offers long pad life, low rotor wear and minimal noise and dust. It balances stopping power with comfortable everyday driving and breaks in quickly and easily.
Key features
- OE replacement pads designed for steady wear and braking performance
- Premium high friction ceramic compound
- Long pad life with low rotor wear
- Quick, easy break-in period and minimal dust
- Slotted pad face
- Stainless steel abutment clips and anti-rattle hardware included with most applications
- Black backing plate
Things to check first
Front pads do most of the stopping work on a truck this heavy, so their friction material and fit matter more than many owners expect. Ceramic compounds generally produce less dust than semi-metallic pads, which makes wheels easier to keep clean, though the pedal can feel firmer until the pads warm up. Pads wear against the rotor, so a worn or glazed rotor can shorten pad life even with a good set installed.
Pads are often replaced along with related parts. Check the rotors for scoring, warping and minimum thickness, and inspect the caliper slide pins and boots for sticking or torn seals. Clean and lubricate the slide points and abutments as the installation step calls for, using brake-specific lubricant only where it is meant to go.
- Inspect pad thickness at every tire rotation
- Replace pads on both sides of an axle together
- Bed in new pads gently before heavy towing
- Watch for pulsation, pulling or squeal as signs of wear

Vehicle fitment
It fits the front axle of the 2000–2005 Ford Excursion, the 2000–2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty and the 2000–2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty.
The list does not cover Dodge, Chevrolet, GMC or Cadillac trucks, and it does not include the Ford F-150 or Ranger. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Each set includes stainless steel abutment clips and mounting hardware, so most installs need no separate hardware. Brake lubricant is not included, so have a suitable brake lubricant ready for the pad contact points on the caliper bracket. Replace pads on both sides of the same axle together so braking stays even.

Four ceramic pads per set, with abutment clips and mounting hardware included.
Not included: Brake lubricant.
