Overview
The Baer Brakes Claw Brake Pads, part number D1012, are rear ceramic brake pads for the 2004–2011 Ford F-150 and the 2006–2008 Lincoln Mark LT. Baer Brakes sells them as a set of four replacement pads designed to deliver OE-style stopping power with low noise and low dust for everyday driving.
The Claw pads use a premium ceramic friction compound designed for long-lasting, consistent performance, quick break-in and minimal dust. They balance strong braking with road-going civility, which suits daily drivers who want a quiet, clean replacement rear pad.
Key features
- Ceramic friction compound for consistent performance with minimal noise and dust
- Long pad life with low rotor wear
- Quick and easy break-in
- Slotted pad design
- Stainless steel abutment and anti-rattle hardware included with most applications
- Pad shims included
- Replacement pads for the rear axle of the listed Ford F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT
Rotor and caliper condition
Pads work against the rotor, so the friction surface of the rotor affects how well new pads perform. A rotor with deep grooves, blue discoloration or uneven thickness can cause vibration and uneven pad wear, and it is worth measuring before the new pads go on.
Caliper function matters as much as the pad itself. Slide pins should move freely, and the piston should retract without binding. A caliper that sticks can keep one pad in contact with the rotor and wear it faster than the other.
Bedding in ceramic pads follows the process described during installation, and a gentle first few stops help the friction layer transfer evenly.
- Measure rotor thickness and check for grooves
- Confirm caliper slide pins move freely
- Check that the piston retracts without binding

Vehicle fitment
The manufacturer fitment list for the Baer Claw D1012 covers two vehicles, both for the rear axle: the 2004–2011 Ford F-150 and the 2006–2008 Lincoln Mark LT. The Ford entry carries a drive qualifier of RWD and 4WD, and both entries are listed with the ceramic material qualifier.
It is for the rear axle of the 2004–2011 Ford F-150 and the 2006–2008 Lincoln Mark LT only. Other F-150 generations and Lincoln models outside the Mark LT are not covered. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Brake lubricant is not included, so have a suitable lubricant on hand for the caliper slide and abutment surfaces. Brake pads are safety-critical: after installation, bed the new pads in gently, as is usual for ceramic pads, and test braking at low speed before returning to normal driving.
What’s included
Each set contains four pads with stainless steel abutment and noise suppression hardware for most applications, along with mounting hardware and pad shims.
Not included: Brake lubricant and a pad wear sensor are not included.
