PowerStop B264 Drum Brake Shoe - Front or Rear

Overview

PowerStop Autospecialty brake shoe B264 is a semi-metallic drum brake shoe built for direct replacement applications that call for precise drum contact and controlled noise. It is a fitment-based choice for classic Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles with 11-1/32 x 2-1/2 inch brakes.

Compatible With Ford Thunderbird, Mercury Monterey, and Lincoln Continental applications, B264 supports both front and rear fitments where listed. The B264 part number is used across a wide range of vintage vehicles with bonded brake shoe applications.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for consistent braking performance.
• Post-cured construction for shorter break-in time.
• Precision cam-ground for proper drum contact.
• Chamfered edges to reduce noise and chatter.
• New steel construction with rust-resistant coating.
• Asbestos-free and copper-free friction material.
• Riveted friction material attachment.

Product Details

PowerStop B264 is part of the Autospecialty brake shoe line, which focuses on OE-style replacement fit and material control. The shoe uses a semi-metallic formula that is post cured to improve initial braking response, while cam grinding helps the shoe seat correctly against the drum. Chamfering reduces the chance of brake noise, and the coated steel backing helps resist corrosion over time. The B264 part number is a practical match for older drum brake systems that require the specified 11-1/32 x 2-1/2 inch brake size.

This part cross-references Centric Parts (e.g., 111.02640, 112.02640) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise and chatter from worn drum shoes.
• Reduced braking response from aged friction material.
• Poor drum contact caused by uneven shoe wear.
• Corrosion on steel shoe components.
• Fitment issues on listed vintage drum brake applications.

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle uses 11-1/32 x 2-1/2 inch brakes and confirm the listed position before ordering. This brake shoe is a riveted design and does not include mounting hardware or parking brake levers. Follow standard drum brake service procedures, inspect the drum surface, and replace related wear components as needed during brake service.

Quality Assurance

PowerStop states that its brake shoe line is built to strict OEM standards. The Autospecialty line uses new steel, rust-resistant coating, and friction materials that are asbestos-free and copper-free for controlled, specification-focused replacement performance.
