Detailed Description

The Bendix Stop Ceramic line is part of the brand’s broader brake coverage for North American vehicles, and SBC1796 follows that OE-focused approach. This part number is specified for front Mercedes-Benz brake applications with ceramic original equipment pad material, including Mercedes-Benz E350, C300, and GLC300 fitments. The pad design emphasizes consistent stopping behavior and a direct replacement profile for the listed applications.

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

Common Issues It Can Address

• Worn front brake pads that reduce braking effectiveness.
• Brake noise caused by aged pad friction material.
• Uneven pedal feel from pads that no longer match OE specifications.
• Loss of consistent braking performance during routine service intervals.
• Replacement needs on ceramic-pad-equipped Mercedes-Benz front brake systems.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s brake package before ordering, especially on 2015-2017 C300 and 2017-2019 E300 applications with package-specific notes. Confirm front axle fitment and original equipment pad material, since the listed applications are tied to ceramic OE specifications. Hardware is not included on some listed applications, so check the vehicle-specific notes before installation.
