Product Line Details

Bendix Premium Brake Shoes are part of the Bendix Premium Copper Free line, a brake pad and shoe range focused on copper-free formulations. The Bendix 810 rear brake shoe application is built for consistent pedal feel, stable friction response, and OE-style fitment in drum brake systems.

Detailed Description

The Bendix Friction 810 rear drum brake shoe is engineered for vehicles that use 9-inch rear drum brake setups and other listed rear applications. It is a practical replacement for Volkswagen Vento rear brake service, Volkswagen Polo rear brake service, and Chrysler PT Cruiser rear brake maintenance when a copper-free brake shoe is required. The friction material is formulated to deliver performance above OEM expectations while the OE match levers help maintain correct brake shoe geometry and operation.

This part number, Bendix 810, is suited for drivers addressing worn rear shoes, reduced braking response, or uneven drum brake contact. Bendix 810 also supports clean, direct replacement service on the Volkswagen Vento and Volkswagen Polo rear axle, along with PT Cruiser rear drum brake applications.
