Detailed Description

Centric 112.00550 is a rear drum brake shoe engineered for classic Ford and Chevrolet applications, including the Ford F-100, Chevrolet Corvette, Chevrolet Bel Air, Chevrolet Impala, and Ford Thunderbird. If you are servicing a 1953-1967 Ford F-100 rear drum brake system or a 1955-1962 Chevrolet Corvette rear brake setup, this part number matches the listed drum diameter and shoe width requirements.

Centric Premium Heavy Duty Brake Shoes are positioned for drivers who want friction material that supports better braking performance and longer service life in drum brake service. The riveted friction attachment is a traditional construction used in many vintage brake systems, and the 279 x 44.5 publication dimension helps confirm the application before installation.

This part cross-references Anchor (e.g., 2849, 2929) for the same application.

Common Brake Issues This Part Can Address

• Rear drum brake lining wear
• Reduced braking response from aged friction material
• Brake shoe replacement during drum brake rebuilds
• Fitment needs for classic Ford F-100 rear brakes
• Fitment needs for Chevrolet Corvette, Bel Air, Impala, and Thunderbird rear drum systems

Installation Notes and Quality Assurance

Verify brake drum diameter, shoe width, and rear-position fitment before installation. Inspect drums, wheel cylinders, return springs, and adjusters during service, and replace worn brake components as needed to restore proper drum brake operation. Because mounting hardware is not included, confirm that existing hardware is serviceable or source the correct hardware separately.

Centric Parts markets this brake shoe line as a premium friction solution for improved braking performance and extended service life in drum brake applications.
