Detailed Description

DuraGo BD8948 is a rear brake drum engineered for vehicles using a 220 mm x 38 mm style drum specification, including select Chrysler LeBaron, Chrysler Daytona, Dodge Daytona, Chrysler New Yorker, and Chrysler PT Cruiser applications. The drum’s cast iron / steel top construction helps provide the mass and surface characteristics expected in drum brake service, while the composite build supports dimensional stability.
