Wabco 12999433VT Repair Kit 230X 35

Description

The Wabco 12999433VT Repair Kit 230X 35 is designed for brake drum maintenance and repair. This kit provides essential components for restoring the functionality of brake drums in braking systems. Measuring 101 x 301 x 158 mm, this repair kit is manufactured to OE specification, ensuring reliable performance and a precise fit for optimal braking efficiency and durability.

Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically contains all the little parts you need to refresh the mechanism inside the brake drum. Things like springs, pins, levers… all the bits that make the shoes press out against the drum when you hit the brake pedal. It doesn't include the shoes themselves, or the drum itself, just the hardware that makes those shoes work properly. Think of it as the internal workings that control the stopping power. This kit handles the mechanical part of activating your rear brakes – assuming this is for a rear drum brake system. When you press the pedal, it sends pressure that pushes these components, forcing the brake shoes outward to create friction against the inside of the drum, which slows the wheel down. It's a core piece of the system, but it’s usually overshadowed by the shoes and drums themselves.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, those little springs and pins wear out over time. They lose their tension, get corroded, or just break. When that happens, it affects how quickly and effectively your brakes engage. You might notice longer stopping distances, or even a pull to one side when braking. It’s a relatively inexpensive fix that can really improve safety. If you're already replacing the brake shoes or drum, it’s always smart to replace this kit at the same time. It's preventative maintenance and ensures everything is working as it should. You'll notice if these parts are failing because the brakes won't feel as firm, or you might get a rattling sound from the rear. We stock a lot of these at Fixparts Online, and they're usually a pretty straightforward install if you’re comfortable doing brakes.
