Rear pads on F-150 trucks
Rear brakes on a half-ton pickup carry more of the load when hauling cargo or pulling a trailer, and they absorb heat on long descents. A carbon and ceramic compound produces less dust than many metallic pads, which keeps rear wheels cleaner. Good rotor condition is just as important, since a warped rotor causes vibration whatever pad is installed.
Replace both rear pads at the same time, and check the rear calipers for smooth piston movement. Lubricate the slide pins with the supplied lubricant so the pads can float evenly. After installation, make several moderate stops before loading the truck so the friction surfaces seat properly.
- Measure rotor thickness before installing new pads
- Inspect rear brake lines for leaks or chafing
- Keep the shims on the back of each pad
