Overview
The Baer Brakes Claw D1279 is a rear ceramic brake pad set for the 2007-2017 Ford Expedition and 2007-2017 Lincoln Navigator. Each set contains 4 slotted pads on black backing plates, built for drivers who want consistent stopping with low noise and dust.
Rear pads press against the rear rotors or the drum in hub park brake assembly to slow the rear wheels. The Claw pads use a premium high friction ceramic compound for long pad life and low rotor wear. A 2013-2019 Lincoln MKT with a 352 mm front rotor, vented rear rotor and drum in hub park brake needs its own fit check, covered below.
Key features
- Premium high friction ceramic compound
- Long pad life with low rotor wear
- Consistent wear and performance with minimal noise and dust
- Stainless steel abutment and anti-rattle hardware, mounting hardware included
- Slotted pads on black backing plates
- Balanced between performance and road-going civility for daily drivers
Rear pad care and bedding
Rear pads carry a smaller share of braking on most vehicles, so they often wear more slowly than the fronts. Inspect them at every service, and check the drum or rotor surface when pads are removed. A drum in hub park brake needs its own adjustment check, since the parking function depends on correct shoe and drum clearance.
Bed in new pads with a series of moderate stops from moderate speed, letting the brakes cool between sets. Keep the hardware you removed in order so it goes back in the same position, and apply lubricant only at the abutment clip points.
- Note the order of hardware removal
- Test park brake function after reassembly
- Recheck bolt tightness after the first few drives

Fit for the 2013-2019 Lincoln MKT with a 352 mm front rotor, vented rear rotor and drum in hub park brake is not confirmed for this set. Confirm this combination against your vehicle before ordering.
Years outside 2007-2017 for the Expedition and Navigator are not covered, and neither are other Ford or Lincoln models not named above. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
This set does not include brake lubricant, so buy a separate product for the abutment clip contact points. Mounting hardware is included, so compare it with the hardware you remove before fitting the new pads. The MKT application depends on front rotor size and the drum in hub park brake, so confirm both before assuming the pads match. Test braking at low speed before driving normally.
What’s included
One set of 4 rear ceramic pads with stainless steel abutment and noise suppression hardware for most applications, plus mounting hardware.
Not included: Brake lubricant.
