0986487417 Bosch Brake Shoe

Brake shoes are actually the part that creates the friction to slow and stop your vehicle when you hit the pedal. They’re curved pieces of metal with a friction material bonded to them. When you press the brake, the wheel cylinder pushes these shoes against the brake drum, and that friction is what actually does the stopping. They work alongside other brake components, like the drums and springs, to make the whole system function. Think of them as the primary stopping force for vehicles that still use drum brakes – typically on the rear wheels, sometimes on older cars or even trucks. They’re a fundamental part of the braking system, converting your foot pressure into stopping power. If you’ve got drum brakes, these are what are grabbing onto the drum to slow things down. They work in opposition to the rotating drum itself. Well, obviously, brakes are pretty critical. If your brake shoes are worn down, you're losing stopping power – it’s that simple. You’ll notice if they’re really bad because your stopping distances will increase, and you might even hear some grinding or squealing noises. Worn shoes can also damage the drums themselves, making repairs more expensive down the road. They act like a shield protecting more costly components. You want to keep up with them because safe, reliable stopping is the most important thing. We carry a good selection of them at Fixparts Online, and you can usually find exactly what you need for your vehicle there. We’ve got you covered: Brake Shoe (MPN 0986487417) includes a 12-month warranty!
