 manual slack adjusters have a black “e-coated” body and are 

stamped “Made in USA”, above “Bendix

®

”, on the side plate as shown here.  If 

you have a slack adjuster that was packaged as one the above part numbers, 
and does not meet these criteria, it is not a Bendix

should be returned per the guidelines below.

Once the slack adjuster has been identifi ed as having been incorrectly packaged, it should be segregated 
and returned to Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLC.  If your current parts inventory contains one or more of
