Overview
The Baer Brakes 54152-1279 is a rear brake rotor and pad combo kit for the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator, with the manufacturer fitment list covering 2007–2016 for both vehicles. The kit combines slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotors with Baer Claw ceramic performance street pads for the rear axle.
The rear Claw package is a bolt-on replacement for the rear brakes, suited to owners who want a brake upgrade with a more finished look at the wheels. The rotors are cast iron with a directional surface, and the kit includes abutment clips and noise suppression hardware. The rotors balance performance and road civility for daily drivers.
Key features
- Slotted, drilled and zinc-plated cast iron rotors for the rear axle
- Baer Claw ceramic performance street pads for rear braking
- Stainless-steel abutment clips and noise suppression hardware included
- Bolt-on replacement design that Baer Brakes says needs no modifications
- Directional brake surface with a Premium grade rating
Rear axle considerations
Rear brakes do less of the stopping work than the front, but they still shape how a truck tracks under braking. Matched rotors and pads on both rear wheels keep the braking force balanced, which matters most when the vehicle is loaded or towing. Replacing pads and rotors on the same axle at the same time avoids mismatched friction surfaces.
Rear service also covers the hardware that holds the pads in place. Clean the hub face, lubricate the caliper slide pins with a suitable compound, and make sure the abutment clips move freely. Bed in the new pads with several moderate stops before relying on them for steep grades.
- Clean rust from the hub face before mounting the rotor
- Check caliper slide pins for free movement
- Replace pads and rotors together on the same axle

Vehicle fitment
The kit fits the 2007–2016 Ford Expedition and 2007–2016 Lincoln Navigator. A 2017 model falls one year beyond that range, so confirm any 2017 vehicle before fitting.
The list does not include Expedition or Navigator model years outside 2007–2016. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The kit supplies a pair of rear rotors, so both rear wheels are covered. Brake lubricant is not included, so have a suitable lubricant on hand for the abutment clips and noise suppression hardware. Support the vehicle on stands while the rear brakes are apart.
