Ok, has anyone figured out what the Ford part number is for the "performance" brake pads that were original equipment on the 2013 SHO PP?
My pads reached 75,000 miles recently so before my rotors got chewed up, I decided to change them with some Performance Friction pads. When changing them I immediately noticed that the replacement aftermarket pads did not have the same anti-rattle clips, but decided to go ahead with the install. Now after several days of research, I have figured out that several replacement pads do not have the anti-rattle clips riveted to the outer edges. For some odd reason Ford's part listing descriptions for the brakes are: SHO w/painted calipers (DG1Z-2001-D) & SHO w/ out painted calipers (DG1Z-2001-F). This doesn't make sense because to my knowledge, there are NO SHO cars with painted calipers. I am assuming someone somewhere at Ford misinterpreted (PP) for (painted calipers).
I have attached photos of the PP OE pads w/anti-rattle clips and photos of both models of the replacement Motorcraft pads. One set has the clips (Model ending in F) and the other set does not have the anti-rattle clips (Model ending in D).
I have verified that the Performance Friction part # 1611.20 pads do not have the anti-rattle clips as these are the pads that I installed on my car. When I drive over rough roads it sounds like a have a new rattle coming from the brakes.
Why is it that the 2013 SHO PP OEM pads have the clips and then several of the Ford and aftermarket pads do not?
Does anyone know if the (2013 SHO PP) Hawk or EBC pads have these anti rattle clips attached?
If anyone has input on this topic, it would be much appreciated because I'm scratching my head here.
Thank you.
