Wabco 13151199 Bolt

Description

This bolt is a critical component used within the brake drum assembly of braking systems. It's designed for securing brake components and ensuring reliable performance.

This ensures optimal braking force and contributes to enhanced safety and durability of the braking system.

Key Features & Benefits

These bolts basically hold the brake drum onto the wheel hub and brake plate. They keep everything securely fastened together so when you hit the brakes, the stopping power gets transferred where it needs to go. They’re pretty simple parts, but critical for safety. There's not much to them functionally, just a strong connection point. Think of these as the things that keep your brake drum from just spinning freely on the wheel. They work alongside the brake shoes, the wheel cylinder, everything in that drum brake assembly. Without these holding it all together, you won’t have any braking action on that wheel. They’re part of a system, a team if you will, and everyone has to do their job.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

You’ll notice if one of these fails pretty quickly. You’d likely hear clunking, grinding, or feel a serious vibration when braking. That’s because the drum starts moving around independently. It’s a safety issue, plain and simple. These bolts are constantly under stress, heat, and corrosion, especially in areas where you get a lot of salt on the roads. Replacing them when you're doing brake work is always a good idea, preventative maintenance. If you're tackling this yourself, sites like Fixparts Online can get you the right bolt for your vehicle quickly. They’re a small part, but they act like a shield, protecting the rest of the brake system. It's best not to mess with them, really.
