8E0615296 Volkswagen SPRING

These little guys actually have a couple of jobs. Primarily, they hold the brake shoes up against the drum when you're not hitting the brakes. They provide that initial pressure. They also retract the shoes a little bit after you let off the pedal, creating some space between the shoes and the drum. They basically keep everything moving freely. Think of it like this – your brake shoes need to be ready to grab quickly when you hit the pedal. The spring’s job is to make sure they’re positioned just right, close enough to make good contact but not dragging. It’s a small part, but it's part of the whole system that stops your vehicle. It works with the wheel cylinder and the shoes themselves to get the job done. If these springs get weak or break, you’ll notice if you’re lucky—maybe a squealing sound, or the brakes feeling a little mushy. More seriously though, it can cause the shoes to drag, which wears them out really fast and can even overheat things. A weak spring basically reduces your stopping power and can make your brakes less reliable. It acts like a shield, protecting other brake parts from unnecessary wear. You can find replacements pretty easily – Fixparts Online is a good place to look for quality brake parts – and honestly, they’re a fairly inexpensive fix considering what they do for your safety. Long-lasting quality: Spring (MPN 8E0615296) includes a 12-month warranty!
