Detailed Description

Carlson H140 is intended for brake service on vehicles that use front drum brake hardware with the listed shoe and drum configurations. This kit is relevant for Ford B-600, B-700, C600, C700, C7000, C800, C8000, F-600, F-700, F-800, FT800, L800, LN600, LN700, LN7000, LN800, and LN8000 applications, as well as International 1652SC and M1600 Metro II models. Use H140 when servicing the brake shoe return system and matching the original hardware layout for the application.

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

What It Helps Address

• Weak or inconsistent brake shoe return action
• Brake drag caused by worn return springs
• Noisy or uneven drum brake operation from aged hardware
• Brake service issues tied to fatigued spring components

Installation Notes

Confirm drum size, brake shoe type, and vehicle application before installation. Match the spring kit to the exact brake configuration listed in the fitment data, including the 14-inch brake and shoe notes where shown. Inspect related brake hardware during service and replace worn components as needed to maintain proper system operation.

Quality Assurance

Brakes work as a system, and replacing worn service hardware helps maintain consistent performance during brake maintenance. Carlson H140 is cataloged for direct application matching to the listed vehicles and brake configurations.
