The Genuine Advantage: These pads are the only factory-validated friction material for the high-inertia 6.75L V8 and 4.4L engines. They include a one-year warranty as standard, or an extended two-year warranty if fitted by a franchised dealer.
Tech Tip:
When installing these 3Z0698151B pads on 1994–2003 models, pay close attention to the caliper piston alignment. These "Big Brake" calipers often utilize an anti-squeal shim that must be oriented correctly with the piston’s cut-out to prevent "brake groan". Additionally, because these vehicles (Continental R, Turbo R) use the high-pressure hydraulic system, do not use a standard vacuum bleeder. You must follow the specific Bentley/Rolls-Royce "engine-running" bleed procedure to ensure no air is trapped in the secondary circuit, which can lead to a soft pedal even with brand-new pads.
