Premium Brake Shoe Line

The Bendix Premium Brake Shoes line focuses on copper-free braking solutions for North America while maintaining OE-style geometry and dependable pedal feel. Part number 797 is part of that line and is built for rear parking brake applications where consistent engagement and stable friction matter.

Detailed Description

Bendix 797 is a rear parking brake shoe set engineered for vehicles that use a drum-style parking brake assembly at the rear. It is a strong match for long-tail searches such as rear parking brake shoes for 1999-2010 Saab 9-5, rear brake shoes for 1999-2003 Saab 9-3, and rear parking brake shoes for 2001-2005 Saturn L300. The same application also covers 1997-2001 Cadillac Catera and 1994-1998 Saab 900 rear brake service.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

• Parking brake drag or weak holding force
