Detailed Description

DuraGo BD80098-01 is a full cast rear brake drum with a corrosion-resistant coating applied to the exterior and hat area for improved rust protection. The drum is designed around OE-style dimensions, including a 5-lug pattern, 4.5-inch bolt circle, and a nominal 8.99-inch drum diameter, making it a direct-fit replacement for rear drum brake service on 2001-2007 Ford Escape, 2005-2007 Mercury Mariner, and 2001-2006 Mazda Tribute models. This part cross-references OE-style numbers such as 2U2Z1V126BA and 7L8Z1126A for the same application. The BD80098-01 part number is a practical choice when replacing a worn or corroded rear brake drum on these vehicles.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear brake pulsation caused by drum wear or scoring
• Rust buildup on the brake drum exterior and hat area
• Reduced braking consistency from an out-of-spec drum diameter
• Noise from a damaged or uneven drum surface
• Brake service issues on Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, and Mazda Tribute rear drum setups

Installation Notes

Verify drum diameter, bolt circle, center hole diameter, and brake surface width before installation. Clean the hub and inspect rear brake shoes, hardware, and wheel cylinders for wear before installing the new drum. Confirm rear fitment for your exact vehicle year and trim, especially on 2001-2007 Ford Escape, 2005-2007 Mercury Mariner, and 2001-2006 Mazda Tribute applications. The BD80098-01 is a rear drum replacement and should be matched to the vehicle’s existing drum brake configuration.
