Bendix Priority1 Semi-Metallic Rear Brake Pads CFM967 for Chrysler/Dodge/Ram — OE Fit, Quiet Performance

Bendix Priority1 CFM967 semi-metallic rear brake pads are a direct OE-style replacement engineered to deliver reliable stopping performance and quiet operation for specified Chrysler, Dodge, and Ram models.

These Bendix Priority1 pads are built to match original equipment fit, form, and function, providing a straightforward swap for rear brakes on compatible vehicles. Constructed from a semi-metallic compound, the set includes installation hardware and is designed with shims, slots, and chamfers that help reduce noise while maintaining consistent braking under varied conditions.

Will these pads fit my vehicle and require special tools?

They’re manufactured to the OE specifications listed for exact fitment across the supported model years, so in most cases they install without modification. Typical hand tools used for brake pad replacement are sufficient; no special machining is required.

• Fitment: Chrysler Aspen 2007–2009, Dodge Durango 2003–2009, Ram 1500 model ranges 2002–2010 and 2011–2018, Ram 1500 Van 2003, 1500 Classic 2019–2023.
• Included: rear pad set plus necessary installation hardware.
• Tools: basic socket set, C-clamp or piston tool, torque wrench recommended.
• No machining: designed for direct replacement with OE-style calipers.

How do these semi-metallic pads perform under daily driving and towing?

The semi-metallic formulation balances bite, heat tolerance, and durability for everyday driving loads and occasional towing. You can expect steady pedal feel and reduced fade compared with lower-grade materials, while the engineered slot and chamfer geometry help control dust and noise.

• Material: semi-metallic compound for improved heat resistance.
• Fade control: formulation and design aimed at maintaining performance during repeated stops.
• Noise reduction: shims and chamfers minimize vibration and squeal.
• Durability: built for regular commuting and light-duty towing situations.

What noise and dust characteristics should I expect?

These pads include specific shims and geometries that reduce common brake noises; you should notice less squeal compared with untreated replacement pads. Dust levels are typical for semi-metallic materials—some rotor dust is produced, but proper bedding and regular cleaning will limit buildup.

• Shims: anti-vibration layers lessen squeal and chatter.
• Slots/chamfers: help even wear and lower high-frequency noises.
• Dust: moderate dusting typical of semi-metallic compounds; manageable with maintenance.
• Break-in: a recommended bedding procedure promotes quieter, consistent operation.

How do these compare to ceramic or organic brake pad options?

Semi-metallic pads like the Bendix Priority1 offer stronger heat resistance and braking power compared with organic or some ceramic options, making them a good choice for heavier vehicles or those used for towing. Ceramics typically produce less dust and quieter operation, but semi-metallics provide robust performance in higher-temperature situations.

• Stopping power: semi-metallics excel in raw friction and heat management.
• Noise and dust: ceramics often quieter and cleaner; semi-metallics may dust more.
• Use case: semi-metallics suit trucks and heavier SUVs; ceramics suit lighter, comfort-focused use.
• Longevity: semi-metallics deliver durable life under demanding driving.

Who is this for? The Bendix Priority1 CFM967 semi-metallic rear brake pad set is aimed at owners of compatible Chrysler Aspen, Dodge Durango, and Ram 1500/1500 Van/1500 Classic vehicles who want a reliable, OE-style replacement that balances strong braking performance with noise control. Choose these pads if you prioritize dependable stopping, frequent highway or towing use, and a direct-fit installation without modification.
