Product Details
Wagner Brake Z283R is a drum brake shoe for rear axle applications that call for an 11 inch drum and 1-3/4 inch shoe width. The organic friction compound is matched to OE-style performance targets, while the precision-ground material helps promote even contact across the drum surface. This part number is commonly referenced for classic Ford Bronco, Ford F-100, and Ford F-250 rear brake service.
This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes 283PG for the same application. The Wagner Z283R and FMSI S283R identifiers are useful when verifying drum brake shoe selection against existing hardware and service references.

Installation Notes
Verify drum diameter, shoe width, and FMSI S283R before installation.

Clean the drum and check for scoring or out-of-round wear before assembly.
Quality Assurance
