Wabco 13354026 Sliding Piece

Description

The Wabco 13354026 Sliding Piece is a critical component within the brake drum assembly of braking systems. It facilitates the precise movement necessary for effective braking performance. This component is designed to meet OE specification, ensuring reliable functionality and durability. Measuring 10 x 17 x 10 mm, this Sliding Piece offers a precise fit and consistent operation, contributing to overall brake system efficiency and safety.

Key Features & Benefits

This little part actually has a pretty important job. It lets the brake shoes move freely within the brake drum, allowing them to press against the drum surface when you hit the brakes. It guides them, basically. It also helps the shoes retract back a bit after you release the brake pedal, preventing constant friction. It’s a small component, but it’s got a lot going on. Think of your brake drum as the area where things stop happening, and the sliding piece is what lets the parts inside work smoothly. It sits inside the brake drum and allows the brake shoes to move back and forth as you apply and release the brakes. Without it, those shoes would bind up, get stuck, or even wear unevenly. It’s part of the overall mechanical system that physically slows and stops the wheels.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s important because if this piece gets stuck or corroded, you’ll notice if your brakes aren’t working as smoothly as they should. You might get pulling to one side when you brake, hear squealing or grinding sounds, or even feel a vibration. A sticking sliding piece can overheat things, wear out your brake shoes faster, and ultimately reduce your stopping power – obviously not something you want to mess with. If you’re doing brake work yourself, replacing these during a brake job is a smart move, preventative maintenance you’ll appreciate. You can find these – and pretty much anything else you need for brakes – over at Fixparts Online, it's a good place to start. Just make sure you get the right one for your vehicle.
