Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically gives you all the little parts you need when you’re servicing or replacing your brake drums. Think of it as everything around the drum itself. It includes the springs – there are several different kinds in there – plus the pins, clips, and sometimes even new wheel studs. It’s all the stuff that holds the brake shoes in place and allows them to move freely when you hit the brakes. It’s a complete set of hardware to rebuild that entire drum brake assembly. These parts work inside your brake drums. The drum itself spins with the wheel, and these internal pieces – the shoes, springs, pins – press against the inside of the drum to slow things down. It's all about friction. They connect the brake shoes to the backplate of the brake assembly, and they make sure everything is positioned correctly and moves smoothly.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Honestly, it’s easy to overlook this stuff, but it’s really important. The springs and pins wear out over time, they lose their tension. If those parts aren’t working correctly, your brakes won’t be as effective. You might get noise, uneven braking, or even a complete failure. Replacing all the hardware with a kit like this – it acts like a shield against those problems. It ensures everything’s working as it should. A lot of times, shops will recommend replacing this hardware every time they do brakes. You can find this RK38050K kit, and a lot of other brake parts, over at Fixparts Online if you’re looking for a convenient source. You’ll notice if your brakes start feeling spongy or grabbing, or if you hear a clunking sound when you brake, that’s a sign this hardware might be failing.
