TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with 2004-07 Freestar

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for owners of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey who need a direct-fit, OE replacement solution. The bottom line: this kit is for DIYers and independent shops that want a complete rear brake refresh with ceramic pads and vented rotors that restore like-new braking feel without modifications. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic brake work, and the kit bundles pads, rotors, hardware, and grease so there are no missing parts during the job.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to match factory mounting points so the kit installs without alterations for a straightforward swap.
• OE Replacement Disc Brake Kit: Replaces worn components with parts that follow original equipment reference numbers for reliable compatibility.
• Ceramic Brake Pads: Positive molded ceramic pads reduce dust and provide smooth, quiet braking in mixed conditions.
• Complete Kit: Includes rear ceramic pad set, contact point grease, hardware, and two rear rotors so one purchase covers the entire rear axle job.
• Vented Rotors: The 12.44 in rotors are vented to help dissipate heat and maintain braking performance under repeated stops.
• Durable Construction: G3000 casting alloy and application-specific design aim to reduce noise and extend service life.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey who prefer a ready-made rear brake solution that matches OE references and minimizes fitting guesswork. It suits competent DIYers and small shops replacing both pads and rotors at the same time, particularly when dust reduction and rotor finish matter.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers who need non-ceramic compounds for heavy towing or race use, and anyone whose vehicle fitment is outside the listed years - always check vehicle-specific compatibility before purchasing.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Includes pads, two rotors, hardware and grease so the rear job is complete in one kit.
