This little part is basically a sleeve or a cylindrical insert. It fits inside the hole in your brake drum where the parking brake cable runs through. It allows the cable to move smoothly when you engage or disengage the parking brake. It also helps center the brake shoes within the drum. Think of it as a guide and a pivot point for your parking brake. Without it, that cable would be rubbing directly on the metal of the drum itself, causing wear and tear and eventually making your parking brake unreliable. It’s part of the mechanical linkage that actually stops the car when the parking brake is on, so it’s not something to take lightly. It might seem small, but a worn or damaged bushing can cause a whole lot of trouble. You’ll notice if it’s bad because your parking brake might not hold properly, or it might feel really loose. Sometimes it can even cause a squealing or grinding noise. It acts like a shield, protecting the drum and cable from excessive wear. Ignoring a bad bushing can lead to more expensive repairs down the road, like needing to replace the whole drum or even damaging the parking brake cable itself. You can usually find replacements pretty easily. Fixparts Online has a good selection of these, and getting a new one is a relatively inexpensive fix. It's a small part that makes a big difference in safety and keeping things running smoothly. Customer-approved reliability: Bushing (MPN A6584210250) includes a 12-month warranty!
