Product Details
Wagner Brake uses OE-matched friction materials in the Z248DR to support predictable pedal response and stable braking feel. The riveted organic lining is paired with precision-ground shoe material to help maximize contact with the brake drum, which is important in drum brake service where surface consistency affects braking performance.
