What It Helps Address

• Parking brake shoe wear that reduces holding performance
• Uneven rear parking brake engagement
• Noise or vibration from worn friction material
• Loss of consistent brake shoe contact at the rear axle
• Fitment issues from non-matching OE-style components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear brake shoe fitment against the vehicle year and model before installation. Inspect the parking brake hardware, levers, and contact surfaces for wear or corrosion, and replace damaged related parts as needed. Clean the backing plate and drum contact areas before assembly to promote even shoe movement and proper adjustment after installation.

Quality Assurance

Bendix Premium Copper Free brake shoes are built around the Copper-Free Initiative in North America and use premium friction materials for OE-style service applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
