Explorer "SPORT" vs Sport Trac Breaks

[kenc195]

Looking at new brake pads and rotors online but "SPORT MODEL" is not listed. Only the Sport Trac (yes they are different). Does anyone know what brakes the "SPORT" uses?

The "Sport" is the same as the XLT, NBX, Limited and Eddie Bauer as far as brakes are concerned.

Mines a Sport, it's tires are listed under NBX, but it isn't one.

Pads and rotors for your 2002 Sport are listed specifically as Sport or 2 door on RockAuto..

2002 FORD EXPLORER 4.0L V6 Brake Pad | RockAuto

2002 FORD EXPLORER 4.0L V6 Rotor | RockAuto

To clarify as @swshawaii has mentioned, there's the 2 door Sport model and there's a 4 door submodel sport, such as the XLT designation. So the number of doors on your Ex is what's important.

Also be aware of steel piston calipers vs. phenolic for REAR pads. Steel piston bores are larger than phenolic pad clips.

Remove tire and and determine piston type by using a magnet. Or if local buy both pad types and return one with receipt.
