2016 Ford Explorer Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing both brake pads and rotors together on a 2016 Ford Explorer ensures consistent contact, predictable stopping distances, and longer overall system life. New pads on worn or grooved rotors can create uneven wear, vibration, and premature noise; our certified technicians inspect rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition and recommend resurfacing or replacement as needed. When we replace pads and rotors together, we follow Ford torque and bedding procedures to maximize pad transfer layers, reduce brake dust, and maintain the Explorer's engineered braking feel. Using OEM components preserves ABS and traction control calibration, and helps avoid steering pull or pedal pulsation often seen after mismatched repairs. The upfront investment in matched pads and rotors saves money by preventing repeat labor and premature part replacement. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, we combine factory diagnostics with OEM parts and a clear written estimate; check our service specials and schedule service online for convenient appointments and service financing options.
