Parts for your 1999 Ford Falcon-Pedal pads

1999 Ford Falcon pedal pads – purpose, care, and when to replace

The 1999 Ford Falcon (AU Series) does use pedal pads. The brake pedal is fitted with a removable rubber pad on all models, and manual variants add a clutch pedal pad. This is supported by Ford AU Series workshop literature and OEM/aftermarket parts catalogues that list serviceable brake and clutch pedal rubber pads for AU Falcons (1998–2002). It also lines up with compliance and inspection guidance: Australian Design Rules require non‑slip pedal surfaces, and both Australian roadworthy checks and New Zealand’s WoF/VIRM note worn or missing pedal rubbers as a defect item. The accelerator on AU Falcons typically uses a ribbed plastic or bonded rubber surface and isn’t usually a separate replaceable pad.

On this Falcon, the pedal pads do a simple but critical job: they provide a grippy, non‑slip surface so the driver’s shoe doesn’t skate off the brake or clutch, especially when wet. Over time the rubber hardens, smooths off, cracks, or even loosens. Keeping them fresh is cheap insurance for safe, confident stops and tidy gearchanges.

When a 1999 Falcon is in for servicing, pedal pads deserve a quick once‑over. A tech or owner can look for:

• Surface worn smooth or glossy, especially on the brake pad
• Cracks, splits, or missing chunks at the edges
• Pad lifting off the metal pedal, or moving underfoot
• Slippery feel when shoes are damp

Replacement is straightforward and takes a few minutes per pad:

• Peel the old pad off the pedal face
