Common Brake Issues This Part Addresses
- Worn drum brake shoes causing reduced stopping performance

- Brake noise or chatter from aged friction material
- Loss of braking consistency in rear drum brake applications
- Service replacement needs for OE-style Ford, Mercury, Dodge, and Mazda drum brakes
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm drum diameter, shoe width, and axle position before installation. This Z169R shoe is specified for 10-inch by 2-1/2-inch brake systems, so matching the drum and backing plate configuration is essential. Inspect the brake drum, wheel cylinder, return springs, and adjuster hardware during service, and replace any worn components before assembly.
Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the required brake hardware separately as needed for the vehicle application. Verify the vehicle’s front or rear brake position against the fitment list before ordering.
Quality Assurance
Wagner Brake specifies OE-matched friction materials and precision-ground surfaces to support proper contact between the shoe and drum. The Z169R is identified by FMSI S169R and is built to the listed dimensional and application requirements for the vehicles shown.
