A.B.S 18449 Brake DISCS

A.B.S 18449 Brake DISCS

The A.B.S 18449 Brake DISCS are engineered to deliver exceptional stopping power and durability for a wide range of Ford vehicles, particularly the Transit series from 2013 to 2018. These discs are crafted with precision machining and high‑grade materials that meet or exceed OEM specifications.

Key Features

• High‑Performance Material: Made from a high‑strength alloy, the discs resist warping and maintain consistent braking performance under extreme conditions.
• Optimized Heat Dissipation: The coated surface design enhances heat transfer, reducing brake fade during heavy use or in hot climates.
• Exact Fitment: Designed for the Ford Transit (and related models), these discs match the original mounting geometry and rotor size, ensuring a seamless installation experience.
• Long‑Lasting Finish: The anti‑corrosion coating protects against rust and environmental degradation, extending the life of each disc.
• Consistent Performance: Each pair is manufactured to strict tolerances, guaranteeing uniform thickness and flatness for balanced braking.

Technical Specifications

Installation Overview

The installation process follows the standard procedure for replacing rear brake discs on Ford Transit vehicles:

1. Safety First: Secure the vehicle on a lift and remove the wheels.
2. Remove Old Discs: Detach the calipers, then unscrew the existing rotors.
3. Clean Surfaces: Use brake cleaner to remove any residue from the hub and mounting area.
4. Mount New Discs: Align the A.B.S 18449 discs with the hub, ensuring proper seating of the mounting flange.
5. Reinstall Calipers: Secure the calipers over the new discs and torque to manufacturer specifications.
6. Brake Fluid Check: Verify fluid levels and bleed brakes if necessary.

Performance Benefits

• Enhanced Stopping Power: The high‑strength alloy provides a larger braking surface area, improving deceleration rates.
• Reduced Brake Fade: Heat‑dissipating coating keeps the discs cooler during prolonged use, maintaining consistent performance.
• Improved Longevity: Anti‑corrosion treatment resists rust and wear, extending service life even in harsh environments.
• Consistent Ride Quality: Uniform thickness and flatness reduce vibration and noise during braking.

Compatibility Notes

The A.B.S 18449 Brake DISCS are specifically engineered for the Ford Transit series, but they also fit other Ford models that share the same rotor dimensions. Always verify the vehicle’s specifications before installation to ensure a perfect match.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect discs regularly for signs of wear or damage such as scoring, glazing, or uneven thickness.
• Replace brake pads simultaneously with new discs to maintain optimal braking performance.
• Keep the rotor surface clean; use a dedicated brake cleaner and avoid contact with oil or grease.
• Store spare discs in a dry environment to prevent corrosion before installation.

Conclusion

The A.B.S 18449 Brake DISCS combine advanced material science, precise engineering, and robust construction to deliver reliable braking performance for Ford Transit owners. Their superior heat management, anti‑corrosion finish, and exact fitment make them a trusted choice for both everyday driving and demanding commercial use.
