740 turbo wagon 1991 changing brake pads, which one?

Post by greengator »

I am changing the brake pads and need to know the differance from bendix versus girling. I have ABS atleast the light in the dash lights up so I assume it has ABS, but do not have a second vehicle to run to the shop incase I get it wrong. So how can I tell which kind of caliper I have??

The front will be Girling with or without ABS and the rear will be ATE.

Thanks i wish i would have read your post sooner. The volvo dealer parts guy swore they were bendix, and of course they are not.....which i saw when i got the wheel off and it was printed "girling" in big letters on the caliper. thanks again
