Product Details

Bendix Premium Brake Shoes are part of the Bendix Premium Copper Free offering, a brake pad and shoe program aligned with North American copper-free requirements. This part number 519 is built for rear drum brake applications and is suited for drivers servicing older compact cars and front-wheel-drive platforms that use drum brakes at the rear. If you are replacing rear brake shoes on a Dodge Neon, Chrysler Neon, or Plymouth Neon, Bendix Friction 519 provides a direct replacement option with the friction characteristics and lever match needed for proper brake function.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear brake shoe wear that reduces braking effectiveness
• Noise or uneven braking from worn drum brake friction material
• Loss of pedal consistency caused by aged rear shoes
• Fitment issues during rear brake service on OE-style drum systems
• Brake maintenance on vehicles such as Dodge Neon, Plymouth Neon, and Chrysler Neon

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear drum brake size and application details before installation, especially on vehicles listed with 7.87" x 1.34" brakes or 200mm x 32.5mm brakes. Inspect drums, wheel cylinders, springs, and adjusters during service so the new shoes can operate correctly. Clean the backing plate contact points and verify lever alignment before reassembly.
