Expedition brake fitment by generation
Each Expedition generation uses its own brake parts. The 1998-2002 trucks vary by drive type, engine and brake package. The 2003-2006 trucks added independent rear suspension and new disc brakes. The 2007-2017 trucks include the longer EL, and the 2018-2021 trucks include the longer MAX, with rotor sizes that vary by trim and package.
OE rotor numbers changed between 2004 and the 2009-2017 trucks, so do not mix parts by appearance. Pick front or rear, then confirm 2WD or 4WD, trim, standard or extended body and any towing package. Check rotor diameter, thickness, height and bolt hole count. One later front rotor is listed with six mounting holes.
Signs your Expedition needs brakes
Big SUVs work their brakes hard. Listen for squealing, grinding or scraping, and pay attention to vibration in the steering wheel or body when you stop. A pull to one side, longer stopping distances, a pedal that feels low, soft or hard, and brake or ABS warning lights are all signs to inspect the system.
Do not blame warped rotors for every vibration. Rotor thickness variation, runout, pad deposits, wrong wheel nut torque, a sticking caliper and worn wheel bearings or suspension parts can all cause it. Measure before you buy, and fix seized calipers or damaged hardware along with the pads and rotors.
Kits and installation notes
Replace pads and rotors in axle pairs. A kit such as the TRQ front and rear pad and rotor kit or the Detroit Axle front kit covers matched parts, while Raybestos, Centric and DuraGo rotors suit a rotor-only job. Check whether pads come with shims, clips or hardware.
Support the truck on jack stands. Clean the hub face before you mount new rotors, and check the caliper slide pins, boots and abutment clips. You will need a caliper piston tool and a torque wrench, and wheel nuts should be torqued to Ford's spec. If your Expedition has an electronic parking brake, follow the correct service procedure before you push back the rear pistons.

Expedition questions
Do Expedition EL or MAX models use different brakes?
They can. The EL and MAX are separate extended-length bodies, and brake fitment should be checked against the catalog for each. Select your body, drive type and trim in the fitment table.
Do 2WD and 4WD Expeditions use the same brake rotors?
Not always. Drive type can change brake fitment, especially on 1998-2002 trucks. Check the fitment table and use your VIN if listings differ. Front and rear parts never interchange.
Why does my Expedition shake when braking?
Rotor thickness variation is a common cause, but runout, pad deposits, uneven wheel nut torque, a sticking caliper or worn wheel bearings can also cause it. Inspect before you buy parts.
