Wabco 13551067 Nut

Description

This nut is a component used within the brake drum assembly of brake systems. Specifically, it's designed for brake mechanical applications. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 13551067, this nut is engineered to OE specification ensuring reliable performance and durability within demanding brake systems. It features a 1 ¾”-12 UNS thread size, providing a secure and precise fit. This component contributes to the overall safety and efficiency of the braking mechanism.

Key Features & Benefits

This little guy actually does a pretty important job. It secures the brake drum to the wheel hub – basically, it holds the whole drum assembly on the car. It’s tightened to a specific torque, meaning a specific amount of force, to keep everything stable and safe. Sometimes it also helps position the drum correctly during assembly. Think of your brake drum as the housing for your brake shoes, and those shoes are what actually stop the car. This nut is a critical part of keeping that whole system together. It's part of the wheel assembly, so it spins with the wheel, obviously, but it needs to stay firmly attached. It’s not something you directly see working, it’s all internal to the braking process.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this nut comes loose or fails, the brake drum can wobble or even come off completely while you’re driving. That's obviously a huge safety issue. You’ll notice if it is failing – you’ll likely feel a vibration, hear some clunking noises, or experience reduced braking performance. It’s a small part, but it acts like a shield, preventing a much bigger problem. We carry a lot of these at Fixparts Online, and it's always best to replace these when you're doing brake work, just to be safe. It’s a relatively inexpensive piece that can save you a lot of trouble – and potentially a lot worse – down the road.
