No more sorting through lists of different materials and features trying to determine what is actually needed. Beck/Arnley says it provides only the latest OE application-specific material, supplied with the features you have come to expect for great performance and extended service life, including:
• All pads supplied with chemically and mechanically bonded shims to minimize noise.
• All backing plates have precision cut edges to ensure proper fit and installation.
• All friction material is formulated to minimize dusting.
• All pads are chamfered and slotted to maximize braking performance.
• All pads are integrally molded and post cured for maximum life.
• Where integrated, sensors are included.
