What It Helps Address

• Brake pulsation caused by worn or out-of-round rear drums
• Reduced braking consistency from drum surface wear
• Noise related to damaged or heat-affected drum surfaces
• Service issues during rear brake shoe and drum replacement
• Fitment problems when replacing the original rear drum on listed Dodge vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing drum diameter, bolt pattern, and center hole dimensions before installation. Measure the brake surface and compare the discard diameter to confirm the drum is within service limits. Clean the hub mounting surface and inspect rear brake shoes, hardware, and wheel cylinders before installing the new drum. For best results, replace worn brake components as needed so the new drum seats evenly and the rear brakes operate correctly.
