Ever get wrong information from a parts catalog?
I wanted to use Bendix CT-3 ceramic brake pads, front and rear, on my 98 chevy pickup. Simple enough, right?
I search, the parts store searches... they find a part number for that variety pad for the front... nothing for the rear in the vendor catalog, some parts in the store's catalog.
Order some parts... Turns out the front pads do not fit at all. Wrong ones, different design, etc.
Every honeywell catalog and online catalog lists the wrong number.
Put in the same truck as a 2002, and not only do the right part numbers show up for front and rear, but they show the CT-3 parts for the front and rear.
Alas, was in the middle of the job, and now only have middle of the road Bendix CQ pads on. Much better than what I had before, with better bite, but being anal, they arent what I wanted, and this makes me unhappy. Ill get over it, Im sure, but it sure is annoying that all the catalogs are wrong...
