Description

The Wabco 12999274VT Repair Kit 325x100 is a comprehensive solution designed to restore the functionality of brake drums within braking systems. This kit includes all necessary components to address common wear and tear, ensuring optimal braking performance and safety. It is intended for use in brake drum applications within mechanical braking systems. This repair kit is manufactured to OE specification, guaranteeing a precise fit and reliable operation while extending the life of brake drum components and reducing maintenance costs.

Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically gives you everything you need to refresh your brake drums. It includes new wheel cylinders – those are the little pistons that push the brake shoes out against the drum – plus new brake shoes, springs, and sometimes even adjusting hardware. It's a complete package for that side of the braking system. Basically, it’s all the wearable parts that make the drum brakes work. These parts are specifically for drum brakes, the older style you still see on the rear of some cars and trucks, and occasionally the front of older models. The drum itself spins with the wheel, and these parts inside the drum are what actually slow things down when you hit the brake pedal. The wheel cylinder pushes the shoes outward, and they press against the inside of the drum, creating friction.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, drum brakes, like anything mechanical, wear out. The shoes get thin, the cylinders can leak, and the springs lose their tension. If any of that happens, you’ll notice if your braking feels less effective, you have a spongy pedal, or you might even hear squealing or grinding noises. More importantly, worn drum brakes can seriously impact your stopping distance, and that’s obviously a safety issue. This kit lets you get everything back to working order. You can find this kit, the 325x100, and a lot of other brake parts over at Fixparts Online if you're looking for a source. It’s a relatively straightforward job for a DIYer comfortable working on cars, but if you’re not, it’s definitely something to have a professional handle. It acts like a shield against needing to replace the entire drum assembly.
