Police Semi-Metallic SDR Line

The Police Semi-Metallic SDR line is aimed at severe-duty braking where heat, repeated stops, and load management matter. For rear brake service on fleet trucks, pursuit vehicles, and heavy-use SUVs, this formulation focuses on stable friction and controlled pedal response. If you are sourcing Bendix Friction PBD2174 for a Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, or Cadillac LYRIQ rear brake repair, this product line is built for that type of duty cycle.

Detailed Description

Bendix Friction PBD2174 is a rear disc brake pad set for a wide range of 2019-2026 trucks, SUVs, and EVs. It covers applications including Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade, Cadillac Escalade ESV, Rivian R1T, Rivian R1S, and others listed in the fitment data. The semi-metallic friction material is selected for severe-duty use, while the burnishing strips and anti-noise shims support easier break-in and quieter operation.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, model, and brake configuration before installation.
