Common Brake Issues This Drum Can Address

• Rear drum wear that affects braking consistency on Dodge D250, D350, and W-series trucks
• Out-of-round or scored drum surfaces that reduce shoe contact
• Brake pulsation or noise caused by drum surface damage
• Replacement needs after inspection on 12 in. x 3 in. rear drum brake systems
• Service work on select Plymouth PB350 rear brake assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s rear brake configuration before ordering, including 12 in. x 3 in. brake size, axle setup, and any listed GVW or dual rear wheel notes. Confirm drum diameter, depth, and lug-hole dimensions against the existing part to ensure proper fit on the rear axle.

For best results, inspect brake shoes, wheel cylinders, and hardware condition during drum replacement. This helps restore even braking performance and reduces the chance of uneven wear on the new drum.
