What It Helps Fix

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, make, model, brake shoe width, and drum brake hardware configuration before installation. Match the rear right position and verify the adjuster lever style against the existing brake assembly, especially on Ford E-Series, Ford F-Series, and Dodge Ram or B-series applications. For best results, inspect related drum brake hardware for wear before reassembly.
