I have a 2013 Ford Edge and I'm replacing my front brakes, I will be using, the Raybestos Element E3 Rotors, and I'm contemplating those two brake pads.. I have heard a lot about the Akebono brake pads.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Motorcraft is cheaper at RockAuto..I liked my akebono but they did need ground down they wouldnt fit on the subaru without grinding the ears pretty severely.
if you have a 2013 and its never needed brakes.. I'd probably cough up for the ford brake pads too.
Next question is there a difference between motorcraft from rockauto vs dealer?
Same experience on a Ford Edge. After about 6 months with new Akebono pads my daughter complained about her brakes squeaking while driving around town. I took them apart again and found nothing wrong except the pads were pretty tight in the shims. After filing the tabs down a little so that the pads could move around freely the squeaks are gone. The pads showed barely any wear at all.I liked my akebono but they did need ground down they wouldnt fit
but is motorcraft at rockauto the same part you are getting from the dealer?Motorcraft is cheaper at RockAuto..
Yes that I confirmed..but is motorcraft at rockauto the same part you are getting from the dealer?
For certain parts the answer was no. I'm guessing brakes could be the same.
how did you confirm it?Yes that I confirmed..
Only a fool would pay more for Akebonos over OEMotorcraft is cheaper at RockAuto..
Ford parts Giant says that number is discontinued... BT4Z-2001-B I'm sort of confused.how did you confirm it?
for example ford genuine parts

There are different lines.but are motorcraft the same as ford genuine parts(OE) from dealer?
They are, but the end product is not the same. Different compound, different shims, etc.And they are all contracted out to supplier like, well, Akebono.
