What It Is Used For

• Replacing worn drum brake shoes on listed classic vehicles
• Restoring braking performance in front or rear drum brake assemblies
• Addressing brake noise caused by worn friction material
• Correcting reduced stopping response from aged drum brake components
• Servicing 11 x 2-inch and 11 x 2.07-inch drum brake setups

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, brake position, and drum size before ordering. Confirm whether the application calls for front or rear use, since the Bosch BS228R is listed in both positions across different vehicles. Inspect drums, springs, wheel cylinders, and related brake hardware during service so the new shoe can seat properly in the assembly.

Quality Assurance

Bosch supplies new brake components for cataloged OE-style service applications. BS228R is a new part, not remanufactured, and is listed for specific fitments to support accurate replacement selection.
