∙ 15y agobrake shoes are used with drum brakes and are " spread out " when the brake pedal is applied ( brake shoes are used for the rear brakes on 1991 to 1994 Ford Explorers ) brake pads are used with disc brakes and squeeze on both sides of the brake rotor when the brake pedal is applied ( 1995 and newer Ford Explorers have disc brakes front and rear )

The brake pads are the 2 half moon looking parts that the calibers push on to make it rub against the rotor overall creating friction and stopping your vehicle
