The 4U2Z-2V001-CA / BR-1083 is a genuine OEM Front Brake Pad Kit designed specifically for 2005-2008 Ford F-150 models. This kit is an integral part of your vehicle’s braking system, providing the friction necessary to slow and stop your vehicle. As your brake pads wear down over time, braking effectiveness can decrease, potentially compromising your vehicle’s safety. Replacing worn or damaged brake pads with this genuine OEM part helps to restore your braking system to its original efficiency and responsiveness, thereby improving your vehicle’s safety and performance.
This is a brand new, genuine OEM part, which comes in the manufacturer’s original packaging. It’s the exact same part that you would get if you purchased it from a new car dealership, ensuring that it meets the stringent quality and performance standards set by the original equipment manufacturer.
