Wilwood Rear ProMatrix D981 Pads for Selected Explorer, Sport Trac, Mountaineer, Liberty, TJ and Wrangler Brakes (2002–2010)

The D981 rear pattern crosses selected Ford, Mercury and Jeep applications, with a nominal 0.55-inch ProMatrix thickness. Those vehicles do not share one continuous year range or every rear-brake option, so the pad must match the actual disc caliper. Camarillo, California is home to Wilwood Engineering, founded by Bill Wood in 1977. Wilwood designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications, including calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines. Those components need to be selected together around the complete brake system's requirements.
