Installation Notes and Tips

Verify drum diameter, rear axle/brake configuration, body style, and production date before ordering. Several fitments are limited by 9 inch rear drums, 3 inch tall drums, police or taxi exclusions, or specific build dates such as vehicles produced before or after 11/82. For best results, inspect brake shoes, wheel cylinders, and hardware condition during service, and confirm the drum matches the vehicle’s original brake setup before installation.
