Product Details

It is a rear drum brake shoe application for vehicles such as the Pontiac Montana, Buick Century, Buick Regal, Chevrolet Cavalier, Chevrolet Lumina, Oldsmobile Silhouette, and related models listed below. For buyers searching for rear brake shoes for a 1999-2005 Pontiac Montana or rear drum brake shoes for a 1998-2003 Buick Regal, Bendix Premium Brake Shoes 636 provides a direct-fit service option built around OE-style geometry and friction consistency.

What It Helps Address

• Rear brake shoe wear that reduces stopping performance
• Brake noise caused by worn or uneven friction surfaces
• Poor pedal feel from aged drum brake components
• Reduced braking consistency in rear drum brake systems
• Service replacement needs on copper-free brake applications

Installation Notes

Verify drum size and brake configuration before installation, especially on vehicles with listed brake dimensions such as 8.86" x 1.82", 8.86" x 1.81", 8.86" x 1.77", 8.82" x 1.82", 6.89" x 0.99", or 225mm x 45mm brakes. Confirm rear position fitment against the vehicle application and inspect drums, wheel cylinders, springs, and adjusters during service. Proper bedding-in after installation helps establish stable contact between the shoe lining and drum surface.

Quality Assurance

Bendix Friction positions the Premium Brake Shoes line around copper-free braking materials for North American service needs. Part number 636 is engineered with premium friction material, strong adhesive bonding, and OE match levers to support reliable rear drum brake service across the listed applications.
