Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically gives you everything you need to overhaul the mechanical parts inside your brake drum. It includes new brake shoes – those are the parts that actually press against the drum to stop you – new springs, pins, adjusters, and sometimes a new self – adjuster mechanism. It’s a complete set to refresh the whole system within the drum itself. Think of your brake drums as being the working surface for a part of your braking system. This kit doesn't deal with the hydraulics – that’s the brake fluid, master cylinder, and wheel cylinders. Instead, this kit focuses on the mechanical action inside the drum. It’s how the force from the wheel cylinder gets turned into actual stopping power. It works alongside those hydraulic parts, they have to work together.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, over time those shoes wear down, the springs lose their tension, and things just get tired. When that happens, you lose braking efficiency, and it can become unsafe. A worn – out kit can cause longer stopping distances, pulling to one side when you brake, or even a squealing or grinding noise. It acts like a shield, protecting your rotors, and if that shield fails you'll notice if your braking isn't what it used to be. Plus, a good overhaul with a kit like this can restore the self – adjusting function, so you don’t have to manually adjust your brakes all the time. We carry a lot of these at Fixparts Online, and honestly, replacing this kit as preventative maintenance is a smart move. It’s a relatively inexpensive fix that can make a big difference in your safety and how your vehicle performs.
