Product Line Details

Common Brake Issues This Part Addresses

• Rear pad wear on ceramic-equipped Camaro, Corvette, or ATS models
• Brake noise caused by worn friction material or shim degradation
• Reduced braking consistency from aged rear pads
• Service replacement needs on vehicles with electronic parking brake systems
• Fitment problems from using a non-application-specific pad shape

Installation Notes

Confirm rear fitment by year, model, and brake configuration before installation. Several listed applications require a special procedure for electronic parking brake service, so refer to the vehicle service manual before removing or retracting the rear caliper system. Hardware is not included on the applications where Bendix notes it as excluded, so inspect existing components and replace any worn mounting hardware as needed during brake service. Part number CFC1718 is a rear pad set for specific Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Corvette, and Cadillac ATS applications, not a universal replacement.

Quality Assurance

Bendix Friction backs this pad set with vehicle testing to verify performance against industry standards. The OE-designed 4-layer shim supports noise control, while the copper-free friction formulation aligns with North American copper-free brake requirements. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
