Police Low-Metallic SDR Line
The Bendix Friction Police Low-Metallic SDR line is aimed at severe-duty service where brakes see frequent stops, higher heat, and demanding duty cycles. For buyers searching for Bendix PBD1611C front brake pads for Ford Explorer police package applications or Lincoln MKT heavy-duty front pads, this line is built around durability, controlled friction behavior, and brake-in support.
Detailed Description
PBD1611C is a front disc brake pad set formulated for demanding fleet and pursuit use. The low-metallic construction is intended to maintain braking response in severe conditions while the anti-noise shims help support quieter operation. Burnishing strips assist with the initial bedding process, which can help the pads settle in more predictably after service. This part number is a strong match for shoppers looking for Ford Explorer front brake pads, Ford Taurus front brake pads, or Lincoln MKT front brake pads in police or heavy-duty configurations.
What It Helps Address
- Brake fade during repeated hard stops
- Noise from front brake pad operation
