Installation Notes

Verify drum diameter, bolt circle, center hole diameter, and brake surface width before installation. This drum is listed for rear position applications only and is not equipped with an ABS tone ring or outer cooling fins. Because fitment varies by model and brake package, confirm the vehicle’s rear 10-inch drum brake configuration before ordering. For best results, inspect brake shoes, wheel cylinders, and hardware condition during service.
