friction tests to conduct our own proprietary procedures on four in-house dynamometers. With  
the full range of Bendix
®
 linings – from OE linings and high performance solutions to meet reduced 
stopping distance requirements, to premium aftermarket and economy grade friction – you can 
always be confident you’re getting more. More performance. More service life. More value.
