A3469930810 Mercedes-Benz Trucks Spring

These little guys actually have a couple of jobs. Primarily, they keep the brake shoes pushed firmly against the brake drum when you release the brake pedal. They provide that initial tension. They also help return the shoes to their resting position after you hit the brakes, and keep everything properly aligned. Think of it like this – your brake drum is where a lot of the stopping power happens. The shoes press against that drum to slow the car down. These springs act like a little helper, making sure those shoes are ready to go when you need them. Without them, the shoes can drag, or worse, not engage properly. They're a pretty simple part, but play a crucial role in how well your brakes work. They’re part of the mechanical system that actually makes the brakes clamp down. A worn or broken brake spring will cause a lot of problems. You’ll notice if your brakes feel spongy, or if you hear squealing or grinding noises. It can also cause uneven braking, pulling to one side. More seriously, it reduces your stopping power, which isn't something you want to mess with. They're a relatively inexpensive part to replace, and doing it regularly as part of brake maintenance can save you bigger headaches down the road. We carry a good selection of them at Fixparts Online, and it’s worth checking if yours need replacing when you’re doing other brake work. Better than the rest: Spring (MPN A3469930810) includes a 12-month warranty!
