Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BD8873 brake drum is constructed from a composite of cast iron and steel, providing a balance of durability and heat resistance. Its 14.02-inch outside diameter and integrated outer cooling fins help dissipate heat generated during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The brake drum features a nominal diameter of 11 inches and a brake surface width of 2.48 inches, ensuring consistent and reliable braking performance. With five bolt holes spaced on a 5-inch bolt circle diameter, this brake drum is designed for precise fitment on various GM vehicles including the Buick LeSabre, Pontiac Catalina, and Oldsmobile Delta 88. Note that this brake drum does not include an ABS tone ring and does not have a rust-resistant coating.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This brake drum is compatible with a range of classic and late-model GM vehicles, including:

  • Buick models such as LeSabre and Roadmaster
  • Cadillac models including Fleetwood and Brougham
  • Chevrolet models like Impala and Caprice
  • Oldsmobile Delta 88 and Cutlass Cruiser
  • Pontiac Bonneville and Safari

Common Issues Addressed by the DuraGo BD8873 Brake Drum

  • Brake noise caused by worn or warped drums
  • Reduced braking efficiency due to uneven drum surface
  • Overheating and brake fade from insufficient heat dissipation
  • Vibration or pulsation during braking
  • Fitment problems with incorrect or damaged brake drums

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake drum is compatible with your vehicle’s make and model before installation. Clean the hub surface thoroughly to prevent misalignment. Check the brake shoes for wear and replace if necessary to maintain optimal braking performance. Since this brake drum does not include an ABS tone ring, verify ABS sensor compatibility if applicable. Proper torque specifications should be followed when tightening the five bolts to the 5-inch bolt circle diameter.

Quality Assurance and Warranty
