Product Details

The Bendix Premium Brake Shoes line focuses on copper-free braking solutions for North America, and part number 446 follows that direction with a rear drum brake shoe design for a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles. Common applications include rear brake service on Dodge B150, B250, Caravan, Grand Caravan, Ramcharger, W150, W250, and W350 models, along with Chrysler Town & Country and Plymouth Voyager and Grand Voyager applications. This part number also covers select older Dodge truck and passenger car platforms, including D100, B100, B200, Charger, Monaco, and Challenger rear brake applications.
