For buyers searching for a rear parking brake shoe for Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix, Scion tC, Pontiac Vibe, or Toyota Celica, Z796 provides a direct catalog match for the listed applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., BX796) for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Weak or inconsistent parking brake hold
• Parking brake shoe wear from drum contact
• Reduced friction surface engagement in rear drum parking brake systems
• Noise or uneven operation caused by worn shoe material
• Service replacement for rear parking brake maintenance on listed vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear drum brake dimensions before installation and compare the existing shoe profile to the FMSI 1536-S796 specification. Inspect the brake drum surface for scoring, taper, or excessive wear, since drum condition affects shoe contact and parking brake performance. Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and rear position before ordering. The part number Z796 may also be referenced during catalog lookup and brake service planning.

Quality Assurance

Wagner Brake uses OE-matched friction materials and precision-ground components to support consistent brake shoe fit and contact quality. The Z796 parking brake shoe is identified by FMSI 1536 and steel reference S796 for catalog accuracy and application matching.
