Yes, today they are all MADE by a few companies, but notice the parts are not necessarily interchangeable between systems built by one company for different car manufacturers. There is the little thing called design. It is controlled not by the brake manufacturer, but by the auto manufacturer, who specifies how it is to be built. Also, if you look back just a few years, GM used exclusively Delco Moraine - which was a wholly owned GM subsidiary.Chrysler used almost exclusively their own manufacture, with a good mix of Kelsey Hayes thrown in in later years.AMC used Delco Moraine, Bendix, and Bendix/Budd hybrids (bendix calipers and Budd rotors) And any mechanic who lived through the eighties in North America KNOWS Chrysler's reputation at the time for squealing brakes - whether you worked for a Chrysler dealer or not. |
