Product Details

The Centric Premium Drum Brake Hardware Kits line is built around vehicle-specific coverage rather than universal fitment. This rear drum brake hardware kit is listed for 1979-1988 Ford and Mercury rear drum brake applications, including 10-inch rear drum setups on several models. It is a practical choice when servicing rear drum brake components on a Ford Mustang, Ford Thunderbird, Mercury Cougar, or Mercury Zephyr, where correct hardware fit is important for proper brake operation.

This part number, 118.61016, also cross-references Carlson H7161 and Dorman - First Stop HW7248 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear drum brake noise caused by worn or fatigued hardware

• Brake service issues on 10-inch rear drum systems
• Fitment problems from using non-application-specific hardware
• Maintenance needs on rear drum brake assemblies for Ford and Mercury vehicles

Installation Notes

Verify rear drum brake size, model year, and any listed notes before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle is a standard rear drum application or a special configuration such as Police & Taxi, Police Pkg, or the noted Mustang production cutoff. Match the hardware to the existing rear brake assembly and inspect related drum brake components during service.

Quality Assurance

Centric positions this Premium Drum Brake Hardware Kits line as application-specific hardware for proper fit and function in the listed rear brake applications.
