Brake Pad: Service and Repair
Front Disc Brakes
Bendix
The use of GM brake lining material will help to maintain a balance between the front and the rear brake performance. In addition, the use of GM brake
lining material will provide the proper brake balance for the purposes of stopping distance and control over the full range of operating conditions. The
installation of any front or rear lining material with a performance different from that of the suggested GM replacement parts for this vehicle may change
the intended brake balance of this vehicle.
