Wagner Z352R Drum Brake Shoe Overview
The Wagner Z352R drum brake shoe is built for vehicles using 9 x 2-1/4 inch rear or front drum brake setups. It uses organic friction material and OE-matched friction characteristics to support consistent braking response, while precision-ground surfaces help maximize contact with the brake drum.
Compatible with select Ford Mustang and Mercury Villager applications, this Wagner Brake shoe set is a direct-fit service part for classic drum brake systems. The Z352R part number is also referenced in interchange listings for related applications.

Product Details
Wagner Brake’s Wagner line focuses on OE-style brake service parts, and the Z352R follows that approach with friction materials matched to original equipment performance targets. The riveted organic lining and ground shoe surfaces are specified for drum brake systems that require stable engagement and consistent pedal feel. This part number, Z352R, is listed for 1964-1970 Ford Mustang front applications with 9 x 2-1/4 inch brakes, 1964-1966 Ford Mustang rear applications with 9 x 2-1/4 inch brakes, and 1964-1965 Mercury Villager rear applications with 9 x 2-1/4 inch brakes.
This part cross-references Bosch BS352R for the same application.
What This Part Helps Address
- Reduced braking performance from worn drum brake shoes
- Uneven drum contact caused by worn or glazed friction surfaces
- Brake noise related to aged shoe linings
- Longer stopping distances from deteriorated rear or front drum brake components
- Service needs on classic Ford Mustang and Mercury Villager drum brake systems
Installation Notes
Verify brake drum diameter, shoe width, and axle position before installation. This Wagner Z352R shoe is specified for 9.000 inch drums with 2.250 inch shoe width, and fitment varies by year, model, and position. Mounting hardware is not included, so inspect related brake hardware, return springs, and adjusters during service. Proper drum inspection and adjustment after installation help ensure even shoe-to-drum contact.
Quality Assurance
Wagner Brake specifies OE-matched friction materials and precision-ground shoe surfaces to support consistent brake performance and drum contact. The Z352R is identified by FMSI S352R and is built for service in confirmed Ford Mustang and Mercury Villager drum brake applications.
