Detailed Description

ATE Original Brake Shoe Set 650148 is built for rear drum brake service on the Volkswagen Vanagon from 1980-1991. The shoe design uses semi-metallic friction material, a 56 mm shoe width, and a 252 mm brake drum diameter specification to match the listed application. The friction lining is bonded over its full surface, and the sealed adhesive joints help keep rust from taking hold at the bond area. A powder-coated finish adds another layer of corrosion resistance for long-term service in demanding conditions. This part number 650148 is also referenced under FMSI 1352-503.

ATE Original Brake Shoe Set is the product line designation for ATE brake components built to OE-style service standards, with attention to fit, material attachment, and corrosion protection for drum brake maintenance.

This part cross-references Zimmermann 10990.152.0 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear brake noise caused by worn drum shoes
• Reduced braking performance from thin or glazed friction material
• Poor parking brake holding from worn shoe linings
• Corrosion on brake shoe backing surfaces
• Uneven drum contact from aged or damaged shoes

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear drum brake dimensions before installation, including the 252 mm drum diameter and 56 mm shoe width. Inspect the brake drum, wheel cylinder, and parking brake hardware for wear before reassembly. Mounting hardware is not included, so reuse or replace related service parts as needed during brake work. Confirm correct parking brake lever orientation and adjust the rear brakes according to the vehicle service procedure after installation.
