Wagner Brake Z873 Parking Brake Shoe - Rear

Wagner Z873 Rear Parking Brake Shoe

The Wagner Z873 parking brake shoe is built for rear brake drum applications that require OE-matched friction and consistent drum contact. It is a direct-fit option for select Hyundai and Kia models, including rear brake service on the Azera, Santa Fe, Amanti, and Sorento.

Key Features

• OE-matched friction material for predictable parking brake performance
• Precision-ground shoe surfaces to improve friction-to-drum contact
• 7.480-inch brake drum diameter specification
• 1.180-inch brake shoe width
• Primary friction material thickness: 0.175
• FMSI number 1546-S873 for application identification
• Wagner Z873 part number for rear parking brake service

Product Details

Wagner Brake uses friction materials matched to original equipment requirements, helping the parking brake shoe maintain consistent engagement against the drum. The precision-ground construction supports even contact across the braking surface, which is important for rear parking brake operation on drum-in-hat or drum-style parking brake systems. The Wagner Z873 is identified by FMSI lining 1546 and FMSI steel S873, making it easier to verify the correct rear parking brake shoe for service work on Hyundai and Kia applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 2006-2009 Hyundai Azera, rear
• Fits 2007-2009 Hyundai Santa Fe, rear
• Fits 2007-2009 Kia Amanti, rear
• Fits 2003-2009 Kia Sorento, rear

What It Helps Address

• Weak or inconsistent parking brake holding power
• Noise or chatter from worn rear parking brake shoes
• Poor drum contact caused by worn friction surfaces
• Service replacement for rear parking brake wear on Hyundai and Kia vehicles
• Brake shoe identification issues when matching FMSI 1546-S873 specifications

Installation Notes

Verify drum diameter, shoe width, and FMSI match before installation. Inspect the brake drum surface for scoring, glazing, or out-of-round wear, since drum condition affects shoe contact and parking brake performance. Confirm rear application and vehicle year before ordering the Wagner Z873 for Hyundai Azera, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Amanti, or Kia Sorento service.

Quality Assurance

Wagner Brake positions this shoe line around OE-matched friction materials and precision-ground manufacturing to support consistent brake feel and contact quality. The Z873 is built to the listed dimensional specifications for accurate rear parking brake service.
