2017 Ford Explorer Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing both brake pads and rotors together delivers the best stopping performance and longest service life for a 2017 Ford Explorer. New pads on worn rotors can cause uneven wear, vibration, and reduced braking efficiency. Our technicians inspect pad thickness, rotor thickness, runout, and caliper operation; when machining is appropriate we resurface rotors to factory tolerances, otherwise we recommend OEM replacements. Doing both components at once ensures consistent bedding-in and reduces the chance of early brake noise or pulsation. We document measurements and provide an honest recommendation—sometimes only pads are necessary immediately, and sometimes both pads and rotors are the smart investment. Scheduling is easy: schedule service online and ask about our current service specials to maximize savings while preserving safety and vehicle value.
