PowerStop B154 Drum Brake Shoe - Front

Overview

PowerStop B154 is a front drum brake shoe built for classic applications that use bonded drum brake construction. It uses a semi-metallic friction material, precision cam grinding for drum fit, and chamfered edges to reduce noise and chatter. This PowerStop B154 brake shoe is made from new steel with a rust-resistant coating and is asbestos-free and copper-free.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material with post-cured construction for stronger initial braking and shorter break-in time.
• Precision cam ground for consistent contact with the drum.
• Chamfered edges help reduce brake noise and chatter.
• New steel backing with a coating that resists rust.
• Bonded friction material for drum brake service.

Part number B154 is a front drum brake shoe for vehicles such as the Ford Mustang, Dodge Dart, and Mercury Cougar with bonded drum brake setups and 10-inch brake specifications where listed in fitment. The semi-metallic lining is post cured to improve braking response, while the cam-ground profile supports proper drum contact. The B154 also uses chamfered edges to help control noise during operation.
