Car Forum / Ford / Ford Explorer / January 2008New Pads and Rotors
My 67,000 mile 2003 Mountaineer needs pads and rotors. What should I get? I keep hearing that aftermarket rotors are dirt cheap, yet I wonder about quality. I'm surprised you need them so soon, with my 98 I just did the brakes (pads only, rotors were fine) last year and it had 90,000 miles. Pretty sure it uses the same brake design as yours but maybe not (all 4 disk brakes). I used Wagner ThermoQuiet pads and they seem fine - no noise or fade, can't say anything about wear yet. Why do you need new rotors - are they badly scarred or uneven? If so I'd check to make sure you don't have a sticking caliper.

I recently replace pads on my 2000 with 86K. Still had about 20% on original pads I used the Wagners also. They have lifetime warranty. So far they have performed well.

Lifetime warranty on pads means that they wear the rotors instead. > I used the Wagners also.

Normal around here is about 20-25K. go to Perfect Brake http://www.perfectbrakes.com/default.asp High performing ECB brake pads and coated OEM rotors > My 67,000 mile 2003 Mountaineer needs pads and rotors.
