Refresh worn drum brakes on your truck or van with the Bendix Premium Drum Brake Shoe (P/N 452). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications — including the 1975-1986 Chevrolet C30, the 1988-2000 Chevrolet and GMC K3500, the 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 3500, and the 1996-2002 GMC Savana 3500 — covering 45 vehicles in all. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the complete list. The catalog lists this shoe for both FRONT and REAR drum-brake positions, so confirm which axle on your vehicle uses drum brakes. A drum brake shoe carries the friction lining that expands against the brake drum to slow the wheel; if worn or contaminated shoes are the cause of your reduced braking, this replaces them.
Replacing the shoes on both wheels of the same axle together is recommended for even, balanced braking. Manufacturer part number 452. Country of origin: China. California Proposition 65 WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm.

How do I know my drum brake shoes need replacing?
