Detailed Description

Wagner Brake Z748A is engineered as a rear drum brake shoe for vehicles using a 10-inch drum and 1-31/32-inch brake shoe setup. The organic friction material is selected to match OE-style braking behavior, while the precision-ground construction helps maximize contact between the shoe and drum surface. This combination supports stable pedal feel and consistent rear brake operation on the Mazda MPV.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. If you are servicing a 2001, 2002, or 2003 Mazda MPV rear drum brake system, Z748A provides the correct fitment profile for that application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear brake noise caused by worn drum shoes
• Reduced braking response from thin or glazed friction material
• Uneven drum contact that can affect stopping consistency
• Service replacement for worn rear brake shoes on Mazda MPV models
• Brake performance loss from aged bonded shoe linings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify drum diameter, shoe width, and FMSI match before installation. This part does not include mounting hardware or parking brake levers, so reuse or replace related components as needed during brake service. Inspect the brake drum surface for scoring, taper, or out-of-round wear before installing new shoes, and clean all contact points to promote even bedding.

Fits 2001-2003 Mazda MPV, rear.
