Product Details

SBM1479 is part of Bendix Friction’s Stop Semi-Metallic product line, a brake pad range developed to cover a wide portion of North American vehicle applications with OE-spec alignment. This front disc brake pad set uses a semi-metallic friction material for vehicles that were originally equipped with semi-metallic pads, helping maintain the braking characteristics expected from the factory setup. The multi-layer shim construction supports quieter operation, while burnishing strips, when present, help the pads seat properly during initial use.

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