Product Information
DFC 1551-0001-01 is a front axle set of 5000 Advanced semi-metallic brake pads packed with a hardware kit, for the 1965-1969 Lincoln Continental, 1965-1967 Ford Thunderbird, 1968 Cadillac Eldorado and 1966 Mercury Marauder. The 5000 Advanced line uses OE-type friction formulations matched to each axle, with rubber-steel-rubber shims to reduce noise and vibration. The pads are scorched at the factory to remove uncured bonding agents, so they bite from the first stop with minimal break-in.
