Product Line Details

Bendix Premium Copper Free Ceramic BPR is Bendix Friction’s copper-free brake pad and shoe line for North American applications. It is built around ceramic friction materials and application-specific engineering for drivers who need a direct-fit front brake pad set with modern low-copper compliance in mind.

Detailed Description

This Bendix Premium Copper Free Ceramic disc brake pad set is engineered for front axle use on the Ram ProMaster City. The CFC1721A part number is listed for 2015-2020 Ram ProMaster City front and 2021-2022 Ram ProMaster City front applications, including vehicles where the original equipment pad material is ceramic. The formula is designed around vehicle-specific fitment, while the shim construction helps manage vibration and noise during everyday braking.

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

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise from worn or aging front pads
• Reduced braking consistency from depleted friction material
• Vibration or shim-related brake complaints
• Need for a copper-free ceramic front pad replacement
• Service replacement on Ram ProMaster City front brake systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Install CFC1721A on the front axle only for the listed Ram ProMaster City applications. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and slide components before installation, and clean all mating surfaces thoroughly. Use the supplied brake lubricant where specified, follow the vehicle service procedure, and bed the pads in according to Bendix recommendations after installation.
